A Ruston man was arrested just after midnight Tuesday morning after parish deputies found marijuana on him during an investigation.
Deputies responded to a residence on Water Tank Road concerning a report of a disturbance. When deputies arrived no one matching the description of the parties involved were seen and no disturbance was found.
While leaving the area, a deputy saw a man matching the description of one of the parties. The man who had been described as Lamont Rogers gave his name as “James Clark.” A records check failed to reveal anyone by that name.
It was determined that Clark was a fake name and Rogers, 35, was arrested. A search revealed four bags of suspected marijuana, two of which Rogers said he got from a dispensary and two he stated were “real weed.”
A warrant check showed a failure to appear warrant for Roger for no driver’s license.
Rogers was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for resisting an officer by providing false information, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and the warrant.
Bail was set at $4,500.
