Drugs were found in a car after the driver was stopped for a traffic violation.
A Lincoln Parish deputy stopped Bobby C. Hill, Jr., 43, of Jonesboro for a traffic violation on Beacon Light Road about 1:30 p.m. last Thursday. Hill appeared extremely nervous to the deputy and a check of Hill’s driver’s license showed it to be suspended.
A subsequent search of the vehicle located a baggie in the trunk of the vehicle containing two bags of suspected marijuana and an unmarked bottle containing suspected MDMA (ecstasy) pills, a baggie containing crushed MDMA, and empty plastic baggies.
According to the deputy’s report, the empty plastic baggies in conjunction with the individually packaged baggies of marijuana and the quantity of ecstasy indicate an intent to sell the controlled substances.
Hill was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of MDMA with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under suspension, and improper turn.
The amount of Hill’s bail was not immediately available.
