Ruston Police arrested the driver involved in a single vehicle crash Tuesday on outstanding warrants and several traffic charges Tuesday.
Alicia A. Pitre, 28, of Calhoun, was allegedly the driver in a crash in the 4000 block of U. S. Highway 80 about 8 a.m. Tuesday morning. Pitre told police she was traveling each on U.S. 80 and ran off the roadway.
Pitre did not have insurance on the vehicle and her driver’s license had been suspected. The license plate displayed on the vehicle was a fake temporary tag.

In connection with the crash, Pitre was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for careless operation, driving under suspension, no insurance, and switched license plate. She was also booked on the four warrants and transferred to the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office Tuesday afternoon.
