31-year-old Michael Smith, the driver of the truck, failed a sobriety test at the scene and was taken into custody.

What Was Found in the FedEx Truck?

Police searched the truck and found an open container of alcohol, an opioid pain medication called tramadol and marijuana.

Smith did not cooperate at the scene and refused to get into the patrol car. He had to be forced into the car.

He now faces a long list of charges including drug possession, reckless operation, DWI and resisting an officer.

Houma Police say Smith refused to submit a breath sample to determine his level of intoxication. A search warrant was then obtained for Smith and he was transported to a local medical facility where blood was drawn for testing.
