Alexandria, LA (7/5/2024) – Following a significant law enforcement presence near the intersection of Deerfield Lane and Fox Run, UrbanCast has obtained new information from a recent press release issued by the Alexandria Police Department.

The individuals arrested include 19-year-old Matthew Snowden and 19-year-old Gary Matthews of Alexandria, along with 20-year-old Jamari Harris from Boyce, LA. Charges against the trio include Discharging a Firearm in the City Limits and Resisting an Officer, with additional charges of Illegal Possession of a Stolen Firearm against Matthews.

The Alexandria Police Department has expressed gratitude towards the assisting agencies for their support during the arrests.
