A Grambling man was arrested Monday night after he gave a false name attempting to avoid arrest on an outstanding warrant.
A Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office patrol supervisor stopped a Jeep Cherokee in Grambling for no license plate about 11:00 p.m. Monday. When the deputy approached the vehicle, a temporary license was seen taped to inside under heavy window tint.
The driver was told the reason for the stop and asked for his driver’s license. Christopher D. Millage, 29, said he did not have it nor any other form of identification. He first gave him name as Joshua Coleman, age 27. When no one with that name and birthdate were found in the state database, the driver said his name was Zebadiah Lovell with a birthdate that would make him 39. Millage eventually admitted his true name.
Millage said he lied about his name because he had an active warrant for child support. A check confirmed an active bench warrant from Third District Court for child support. He was placed under arrest and a plastic bag containing suspected marijuana was found in his front pants pocket. Additional marijuana was found on the passenger seat of the Jeep.
Millage was taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center where he was booked for resisting an officer by providing false identification, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and the child support warrant. Bail was set at $20,500.
