A Houma man was arrested after he threatened a driver with a 3-D printed gun, according to the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office.

Devan Dasch, 31, was arrested last week when deputies showed up at a residence in the 200 block of Inglewood Way following reports of a caller who said a man "pointed a weapon at him on at least two occasions."

According to the sheriff's office, the incident happened before noon on Wednesday, May 23. Deputies said the caller gave them a description of Dasch and the car he was driving.

When deputies got to the residence, they said they saw the same weapon described by the caller on the front passenger seat of Dasch's car.

Deputies continued to search and found "illegal narcotics in his possession in the form of Methamphetamines, Marijuana, and other contraband."

A search warrant was obtained for the home and car. In the car deputies found: 

  • two operable “3D” printed firearms
  • numerous “3D” printed firearm parts
  • equipment used to “3D” print firearms
  • multiple boxes of “3D” printing filament

Further investigation led to another search warrant for a residence in the 700 block of Winrock Drive, where another firearm was found, the sheriff's office said.

"Devan J. Dasch was subsequently arrested for charges of Aggravated assault with a firearm, Illegal carrying of a firearm in the presence of a CDS, Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, Possession of CDS II, Possession of CDS I, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of drug paraphernalia, along with additional unrelated arrest warrants related to narcotics and weapons possession."

Dasch was booked at the Terrebonne Criminal Justice Complex. His bond is set at $413,100.
