Kenner – A Kenner man presently on probation for possession of cocaine and marijuana until 12-14-2009 and on home incarceration awaiting trial for possession of crack cocaine was arrested Wednesday.  On Wednesday, May 14, 2008, members of the Kenner Police Narcotics Division executed a search warrant at the home of Walter Shondel Woods III, 29, located at 937 27th Street, Kenner.  As a result of the search, narcotics detectives seized 3.6 grams of crack cocaine (8-individually wrapped rocks), 1.9 grams of marijuana, a 45 caliber handgun with the serial number obliterated (filed off), a digital scale, a small knife with powder residue, and $920.  Woods, who has three prior convictions for possession of marijuana (Nov 1996, Aug 1998, and Dec 2004) and one prior conviction for possession of cocaine (Dec 2004), was charged with the crimes of possession with the intent to distribute crack cocaine (3.6 grams), possession of marijuana (4th offense), possession of a firearm by a person convicted of certain felonies, possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, illegal carrying of weapons while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. 

At the time of arrest, Woods was on home incarceration and awaiting trial.  Woods was arrested by Kenner Police on December 17, 2007, during a traffic stop in the 800 block of 31st Street, Kenner, in which Woods was found in possession of 4.0 grams of crack cocaine.  In addition to the above listed charges, the Jefferson Parish Office of Probation and Parole charged Woods with probation violations.  Woods remains in custody at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna.
