Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced two people were arrested after narcotics agents found drugs and firearms at a Cut Off residence Thursday morning. Shelly Adams, 44, and Aaron Brown, 41, both of Cut Off, were arrested. 

Narcotics agents had been investigating Shelly Adams for her involvement with the use and sale of illegal narcotics.

They were also charged with one count each of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm in the presence of drugs, and possession of drugs in the presence of a juvenile. A third person, Diego Adams, 19, was issued a criminal summons for possession of drug paraphernalia.

The bail amount for Brown was set at $118,000. Adams’ bail was set at $138,000, and she is also being held for Louisiana Probation and Parole.
