In recent weeks, the Shreveport Police Department received multiple complaints regarding firearms and
narcotics activity involving an individual in South Shreveport.

On Sept. 22, members of the Shreveport Police Department, with assistance from the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, executed a search warrant at a residence connected to the investigation. As a result,
officers arrested Vincent Rice.

Rice has been charged with:

• Possession of Schedule II with Intent to Distribute (two counts)
• Possession of Schedule I with Intent to Distribute
• Illegal Carrying of Weapons

During the search, officers seized multiple pounds of marijuana, approximately 420 grams of
methamphetamine, and additional Schedule II narcotics. Several firearms were also recovered.

The Shreveport Police Department would like to thank the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in this case.

This investigation highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to remove dangerous narcotics and illegal weapons from the community.
