VIDALIA — With the assistance of nine other agencies, the Concordia Parish Narcotics Task Force arrested 33 people Thursday and Friday.

Though some of the arrests involved probation violations and outstanding warrants, many of the arrests were drug related.

Concordia Parish Sheriff Randy Maxwell thanked the assisting agencies in a statement Friday.

“This is part of the on-going effort to fight the war on drugs,” Maxwell said. “Not only am I appreciative of everyone’s hard work and assistance, I’m very grateful that all of these arrests were accomplished without anyone being injured.”

Providing assistance to the CPSO in the wide-ranging raids were the Alexandria Police Department, the Catahoula Parish Sheriff’s Office, the Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office, the J. Levy Dabadie Chase Team, the Louisiana State Police, Louisiana Probation and Parole, the Pineville Police Department, the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshal Service.

The arrests required patience, dedication and many man hours before, during and after the operation, Maxwell said.
