Local man arrested for second DWI

A Ruston man was arrested for his second DWI Friday night after he was stopped by Grambling Police for suspected impaired driving.

A Grambling officer stopped Quintrellous D. Cooks, 33, after observing him committing improper lane usage. A Louisiana State Police trooper was called to the scene to assist. The trooper observed signs of alcohol intoxication, including poor performance on field sobriety tests.


Cooks was arrested and taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for a breath test. The test showed Cooks’s blood alcohol concentration to be .130g%.

A records check showed Cooks had a previous DWI in 2014. He was booked for DWI second offense and improper lane usage. Bail was set at $2,500.
