Drugs, wanted person found on traffic stop

The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a Dubach man on warrants and drug charges following a traffic stop Wednesday.

Daniel B. Jumper, 22, was a passenger stopped by a deputy Wednesday afternoon on Sybil Drive off Cooktown Road. A records check confirmed three warrants for Jumper—two for failing to appear in Ruston City Court for traffic charges and one from Union Parish for theft.

As Jumper was being arrested, he told deputies he had an unused needle in his jacket and a small bag of marijuana in his front pocket.

Jumper’s criminal history showed a previous conviction for possession of marijuana. He was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center on the three warrants, plus second offense possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
