Lafayette Police Bust Alleged Local Gang’s Drug Operation, Seize 70 Pounds of Marijuana

LAFAYETTE, La. (KPEL News) — A months-long investigation by the Lafayette Police Department’s Narcotics Division led to a major drug bust this week, resulting in the arrest of 23-year-old Trevis Hudson and the seizure of a large quantity of drugs, cash, and other evidence tied to alleged narcotics activity.

According to Sgt. Robin Green, the investigation began in December 2024, with detectives focusing on a group allegedly known as “Only Dem Doonies” (ODD). On April 10, officers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle occupied by Hudson and two associates.

During the stop, officers found approximately 29 grams of marijuana, 250 milliliters of Promethazine, and $1,720 in cash, all of which Hudson reportedly admitted to possessing. The total value of the marijuana alone was over $600,000.

The traffic stop was quickly followed by search warrants executed at two locations tied to Hudson—one in the 400 block of Marigold Loop and another in the 100 block of S. Meyers. The seizures that followed were significant:

• Approximately 70 pounds of marijuana (estimated street value: $631,916)
• 4,601.1 milliliters of Promethazine (estimated value: $46,601)
• $3,933 in cash
• One electrical money counter and three digital scales

Hudson now faces multiple felony charges, including:

• Possession with Intent to Distribute Schedule I (Marijuana)
• Possession with Intent to Distribute Legend Drug (Promethazine)
• Monies Derived from Drug Proceeds
• Possession of a Firearm in the Presence of a Controlled Dangerous Substance

He was booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center. The Lafayette Police Department says it remains committed to aggressively targeting illegal narcotics activity throughout the community.
