AMITE — A convicted felon and his girlfriend were arrested on multiple drug charges in an Amite narcotics investigation that stemmed from an auto-theft investigation, officials said Wednesday.

Tangipahoa Parish deputies say they served a search warrant Oct. 23 at a residence on Velma Road in Amite. Officials said the operation was focused on the recovery of stolen vehicles; however, the search yielded guns and drugs throughout the residence. 

Dozens of THC cartridges and vapes, multiple bags of suspected MDMA, cocaine, marijuana, guns and various paraphernalia and distribution materials were found during the search, officials announced. 

Javorius Jones, 23, was booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail on multiple drug- and gun-related charges, as well as injuring public records, obstruction of justice, insurance fraud and battery of a dating partner.

Allisha Baker, 24, was also booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail on multiple drug charges. 

Both investigations are ongoing. Anyone with information on this case can contact TPSO's Criminal Investigations Division at 985-902-2088.
