A Dallas man was arrested last Tuesday morning by Ruston Police after he was stopped for speeding and drugs were found in his car.
A RPD officer stopped Kenneth Timber, 38, about 1:00 a.m. on Interstate 20 for speeding 82 in a 70 mile per hour zone. A records check indicated Timber’s driver’s license was under suspension.
When Timber opened the center console in the car, the officer saw several small loose pills inside. Timber quickly shut it and the officer called for assistance.
When other officers arrived, the vehicle was searched. Nothing was found in the console but two suspected MDMA (ecstasy) tablets were located on the floor between the seats.
Timber was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for speeding, driving under suspension, and possession of a Schedule II controlled substance (MDMA).
