IBERIA - Agents from the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office and SWAT recovered several drugs, firearms and cash while executing a search warrant within 1,000 feet of an elementary school Wednesday morning.

According to Sheriff Louis Ackal, agents searched a home on Ann Street occupied by 32-year-old Akia Celestine in reference to illegal drug activity. Celestine attempted to escape through a back window but was captured by police surrounding the house.

Agents found $33,000 worth of narcotics in the home, including powder cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana, codeine and various prescription pills. They also recovered two loaded handguns, a loaded semi-automatic rifle, drug paraphernalia, and more than $1,100 in cash inside the home.
