Slidell, LA (2/28/2023) – Slidell Police Department (SPD) reported a woman was arrested for selling “meth” out of an ice cream truck.
Although ice cream is a great treat to eat on a hot day, the last thing anyone wants around their ice cream is methamphetamine. Unfortunately, “meth” was the exact substance found inside of a local ice cream truck, yesterday morning.
Slidell Police Department
Shortly after 11:30 am (February 27, 2023), Slidell Police narcotics detectives observed a blue-colored ice cream truck with an expired license plate and no brake lights on Old Spanish Trail. This ice cream truck was particularly interesting to detectives due to previously receiving information that the owner was allegedly using and selling meth from the truck.
Detectives conducted a traffic stop and discovered more than just ice cream. Upon searching the truck, detectives located melted ice cream in the freezer, methamphetamine, and other drug paraphernalia. The owner, 42-year-old Tamisha Morin, was arrested for possessing narcotics, an outstanding warrant, and multiple traffic violations. Morin was transported to the Slidell City Jail, and her ice cream truck, “Tami’s Ice Cream & Sweet Treats,” was impounded.
As if the mixture of ice cream and meth wasn’t strange enough, detectives also located two small puppies inside the ice cream truck. Both puppies are now safe at Slidell Animal Control.
As always, keeping children safe is a main priority of the Slidell Police Department. Not only were more dangerous substances removed from the streets of Slidell, but this case also ended an operation that could have affected the health and safety of many children.
At this point of the investigation, Slidell Police don’t believe any children were exposed to meth, as the ice cream truck has been out of commission for several months.
