BROUSSARD, La. (KLFY) — A Broussard couple was arrested after a search of their home yielded a wide variety of illegal drugs, authorities said.

Brandon Green, 39, and Shalamekia Cormier, 36, were charged with the following:

• 2 counts of possession with the intent to distribute cocaine

The Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office stopped a vehicle Tuesday night in which Green and Cormier were traveling for a traffic violation in the 6800 block of Johnston Street in Lafayette. During the traffic stop, agents discovered drugs and paraphernalia, officials said.

This resulted in a search warrant for the couple’s residence in the 100 block of Weeping Willow Blvd. in Broussard. The ensuing search yielded over 2.8 lbs. of powdered cocaine, 8 grams of crack cocaine, 715 MDMA pills, 3.4 grams of MDMA powder, 1.5 grams of marijuana, 2 oxycodone pills, 2 hydrocodone pills, a firearm, a digital scale and an undisclosed amount of cash, authorities said.

Green and Cormier were booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center where they are being held without bond, according to jail records.
