IIn a sleepy bayou community
where the police department has a reputation of having little tolerance for
people exceeding the speed limit, one of the department's own has been forced
to resign.
"It's a shame that the
people they should be looking up to is actually doing the crime," said
Chad Cheramie, a resident of Golden Meadow.
A spokesman for the Lafourche
Parish Sheriff's Office said 37-year-old Ashley Pollard was arrested Monday for
making methamphetamine. And people in Golden Meadow were stunned.
"You try to get the kids
off of drugs and you have the police officers doing what the kids are not
supposed to do," said Cheramie.
Ashley Pollard's was not the
only mug shot taken in connection with the case. His girlfriend, Anna King, 31,
and his younger brother Courtney Pollard, 33, were also arrested.
Each was booked with one count
of creation/operation of a clandestine laboratory for the unlawful manufacture
of a controlled dangerous substance, according to the sheriff's office.
