The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a Ruston man early Sunday morning on a traffic stop after deputies learned of outstanding warrants for his arrest and drugs were found in the vehicle.
Keason D. Dixon., 21, of Ruston, was stopped by a deputy about 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning on La. Highway 33 for a traffic violation. A records check revealed three outstanding warrants from Third Judicial Court.
When Dixon was placed under arrest, he admitted he had a little “smoke” on his person and allegedly pulled out a plastic baggie of suspected marijuana from his pants. A search of the vehicle yielded five tablets suspected of being methylprenisolone, a controlled substance.
Dixon was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish. Detention center for possession of a legend drug, possession of marijuana, and the three failure to appear warrants for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of a Schedule I controlled substance, and possession of marijuana.
Bail was set at $55,500.
