HEATHER LEIGH WILLIAMSON

NAPOLEONVILLE – Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon reports the arrest of Heather Leigh Williamson, 41, of 262 Highway 401, Napoleonville, LA on felony drug charges following a welfare concern call for service on Tuesday morning at a commercial business located on LA 401.

A deputy responded to the location in reference to an individual inside of a vehicle being either ill or sleeping. Upon arrival, the deputy made contact with the lone female occupant who appeared to be disoriented. The deputy initiated an interview with the individual, now identified as Heather Leigh Williamson.

Out of an abundance of caution, the deputy requested assistance from Acadian Ambulance to examine Williamson but she refused treatment.

At some point, the suspect acknowledged the presence of methamphetamine inside of her vehicle. The deputy requested permission to search which was granted by Williamson.

During a search of the vehicle, a quantity of methamphetamine and Xanax (Alprazolam) was recovered and seized.

Heather Leigh Williamson was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center on charges of:

*Possession of Methamphetamine
*Possession of Xanax (Alprazolam)
