BATON ROUGE - A New Roads Police officer was arrested for selling Oxycodone pills to a confidential informant (CI) for the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office.nbsp;EBRSO said a CI told deputies that they had bought both Oxycodone and Xanax from 44-year-old Quincy Lathers, a New Roads Police officer w ho lives in Denham Springs. They said the deal happened while Lathers was wearing a New Roads Police Department uniform.nbsp;Following the tip, EBRSO set up a controlled buy, and Lathers allegedly sold the informant 50 Oxycodone pills while deputies were conducting surveillance.nbsp;Deputies stopped Lathers after the alleged drug deal and found the money that was used in the transaction, New Roads Police body armor, a police badge, and a gun.nbsp;Lathers told deputies that he sold the pills for a man called "uncle," and he was going to bring the money back to him after the exchange.nbsp;After taking Lathers into custody, deputies searched his home and found $3,800 in cash, promethazine and a rifle.nbsp;Lathers was booked into jail for the distribution of a Schedule II drug and possession of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance.nbsp;WBRZ has reached out to New Roads Police Chief Lewis Hamilton, who has not returned our calls.nbsp;On Wednesday, New Roads Officer John Chambliss submitted his resignation following an alleged improper arrest.nbsp;Permalink| Comments ...read more read less
