LAFOURCHE PARISH- Deputies from the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office arrested two men Wednesday on multiple drug charges including distributing meth in Raceland.

Authorities arrested 32-year-old Jarius Griffin and 39-year-old Phillip Bell. Through prior investigations, narcotics agents had obtained warrants for both men in reference to methamphetamine distribution.

On Wednesday, agents in Raceland identified Griffin and Bell traveling south on LA 308 and conducted a traffic stop. They were immediately taken into custody.
