A Ruston man was arrested last Friday by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office on numerous traffic charges and possession of marijuana.
Brandious L. Maryland, Jr., 21, was stopped on McDonald Avenue for a traffic violation. A check of the license plate on the Honda sedan should have been on a Jeep. Maryland said he was on the way to sell the vehicle.

While speaking with Maryland, the deputy detected the odor of marijuana coming from the Honda. A small amount of marijuana was recovered under Maryland’s seat. He was arrested for switched license plate, improper turn, possession of drug paraphernalia, no insurance, and warrants for failure to appear in court on driving under suspension and no insurance charges.
Bail was set at $4,000.
