A Dubach man arrested Tuesday morning after he was found walking on Interstate 20.
The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office received a call of a man walking along the shoulder of the Interstate at about 1:00 a.m. Tuesday morning. The caller was afraid the person could be struck by a vehicle.
Pedestrians are prohibited from walking on Louisiana’s Interstate highways.
Deputies found John M. Miller, 49, of Dubach walking west along the westbound shoulder. Miller said he was trying to get to Arcadia. A records check showed Miller was wanted on an outstanding warrant for failure to pay child support.
A search at the time of Miller’s arrest found a smoking pipe and unused syringes in his backpack. The glass smoking pipe contained suspected methamphetamine.
Miller was transported to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and the child support warrant.
Bail on the drug charges was set at $2,500.
