Doesn’t sound like this one is a menace to society.  She was there for drug related/parole violations etc.  She is not described as armed and dangerous.  This will not help her reputation much though.  She has family and friends in the Deville/ Rapides Parish/Grant Parish areas.  She’s 25 years old, but in that picture she looks like she could be a teenager.
