A man was arrested Sunday morning after a Ruston police officer stopped his vehicle for no license plate.
At about 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning, Officer D. Smith saw a Nissan Altima with no license plate on Vaughn Avenue. After the car was stopped, the officer saw a temporary paper Texas tag, but a records check showed it belonged on a Volkswagen.
The driver, Kyran Davis, 20, of Ruston, said he did not have a driver’s license in his possession but that it was valid. A records check showed Davis was wanted on six warrants from Ruston City Court for failure to appear on several traffic violations, possession of marijuana, and theft under $1000.
After the license plate was determined not to belong to the vehicle and Davis’s driver’s license was verified as suspended, he was arrested and taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center where he was booked on the six warrants and driving under suspension and operating an unregistered vehicle (no license plate).
Bail was set at $27,000.
