WILDSVILLE — Concordia Narcotics Agents recovered 10 grams of suspected methamphetamine packaged for sale and a loaded weapon during a loud music complaint at a Wildsville house.

Agents Lt. Chris Groh and Greg Jackson responded to a loud music and suspected drug activity complaint at approximately 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at 713 Loop Road.

“The neighbors had made several complaints about the amount of traffic coming in and out of the house and the loud music,” Jackson said. “Upon making contact, Mrs. Kayla Hutto cooperated with us coming inside and agreed to give up some rolling papers which she said was the only thing in the house.
