## Resource

Deputies pulled over a vehicle on Highway 40 late Wednesday night and made a major bust—seizing crack, meth, drug paraphernalia, and nearly $2,000 in cash. The two occupants, 51-year-old Joseph Bedford (driver) and 42-year-old Joshua Brister (passenger), are now in custody facing multiple charges including possession with intent to distribute. Bedford also faces resisting an officer and traffic violations, while Brister is charged with simple possession. Both are held at the Livingston Parish Detention Center as authorities ramp up efforts to combat local drug trafficking.
