A Ruston man was arrested Friday afternoon after Lincoln Parish deputies responded to a suspicious vehicle complaint and found drugs during their investigation.
Deputies responded to a Fletcher Lane address where they found D’Marrion M. Malcolm, 24, seated in the vehicle. A deputy smelled the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle and saw a bag of suspected marijuana in the driver’s door. A search of the vehicle yielded four separate bags of marijuana totaling approximately 1/4 pound. Malcolm’s one-year-old son was in a car seat in the back seat of the vehicle.
Malcolm was arrested and taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center where he was booked for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance in the presence of a person under 17, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Bail was set at $5,000.
