July 25, 2025—Yesterday, WPSO deputies arrested Timothy Charles Pittman on one count of possession of schedule 3 with intent to distribute and two counts of introduction of contraband to a correctional facility.

After discovering cell phones and narcotics during a search of the jail, further investigation revealed that the contraband had been retrieved from a nearby medical center while an inmate was there for medical treatment after being left there by Pittman. A search warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was apprehended at his Bogalusa residence shortly afterward with assistance from the Bogalusa Police Department.

Pittman is being held at the Washington Parish Jail pending trial. No bond has been set at this time.
