A motorist who jumped into the back seat when stopped by a Lincoln Parish deputy Tuesday is in custody on multiple charges.
About 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, a patrol deputy saw a vehicle cross the center line into the opposing lane multiple times on La. Highway 821. When the vehicle was stopped by the deputy, the driver quickly jumped into the back seat and a passenger moved to the driver’s seat.
The initial driver identified himself as Christopher Standifer. The deputy determined the name and social security number provided were fake. The driver eventually provided his true name and admitted he was wanted on warrants.
Christopher R. Carodine, 50, of Grambling was arrested and booked on seven warrants for failure to appear in court, improper lane usage, and resisting an officer by providing false information.
Bail was set at $68,500.
