A 21-year-old Ruston man was arrested early last Tuesday morning after authorities executed a search warrant to look for drugs at his Hickory Street home.
Anthony Bass was charged with numerous violations after marijuana and pills were found.
The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team, LPSO investigators, and members of the Lincoln Parish Narcotics Enforcement Team served the warrant. According to a deputy’s report, the amount of marijuana and the presence of plastic baggies and digital scales indicated the drug was being packaged for sale.
The home is within a drug-free zone due to the proximity of a nearby church.
Bass was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana with intent to distribution, possession of a legend drug, violation of the Controlled Substances Act (drug-free zone), possession of drug paraphernalia and a warrant held by the LA Department of Corrections—Production and Parole.
