NATCHITOCHES, La. (KALB) – The Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's Office said two men were arrested June 4 in connection with the theft of a horse trailer.

Agents discovered:

• 1000 MDMA ecstasy tablets
• 4 grams of suspected cocaine
• More than 100 fentanyl pills
• 1 gram of marijuana
• A stolen gun

Pier and Brown were booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center.

The stolen horse trailer has been impounded and its owner is in the process of getting it back.
