TICKFAW (October 10, 2025)- The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) has arrested a convicted felon following proactive patrol efforts by our Narcotics team.

Jamar Tyler, 30, has been booked on two counts of Convicted Felon in Possession of a Firearm as well as one count each of Possession of Weapons While in Possession of Controlled Dangerous Substances, Possession with Intent to Distribute Schedule II Narcotics, Possession with Intent to Distribute Schedule III Narcotics, Possession with Intent to Distribute Schedule IV Narcotics, Operation of a Clandestine Lab, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Probation Violation, and various Traffic Violations.

Last week, while conducting proactive patrols in the Whiskey Lane/Highway 1064 area, TPSO Narcotics detectives pulled over a vehicle driving erratically. Inside was Tyler, a convicted felon, who had a loaded gun and illegal prescription pills in his pocket. Following a sniff search by K-9 Gunner, additional drugs, including meth, another gun and drug sale supplies like a scale and small bags were discovered inside of the vehicle. Tyler was then placed under arrest.

The TPSO would like to thank the public for their partnership in reporting suspicious activity.
