The New Orleans Police Department says officers responding to a report of two women fighting in the street led to the discovery of an illegal drug business in an Uptown home.
A police spokesman says Second District officers responded to a fight between two women yesterday afternoon in the 2500 block of Milan Street. Investigators say when the cops arrived, one woman ran into a house on Milan and hid under a bed. The cops followed her and found her hiding under a bed, as well as a handgun and several bags of marijuana in plain view, according to Officer Remi Braden.
After obtaining a warrant, Braden says a K-9 unit searched the house further and found a second handgun, an M-16 assault rifle, 40 grams of crack cocaine, 42 grams of powder cocaine, and 2 bottles of liquid hydrocodone.

One of the guns had reportedly been stolen from Jefferson Parish.

“Our officers didn’t know what they were stumbling onto when they responded to a call of two people arguing in the street. But they followed through, and one thing quickly led to another,” said Superintendent Ronal Serpas in a statement.
