Driver arrested on warrant, drugs

A Lincoln Parish deputy arrested a Dubach man last Tuesday afternoon after a check showed he was driving under suspension and was wanted on a warrant.

Brandon Bussell, 41, was stopped on Rough Edge Road about 2 p.m. Tuesday. Bussell said he did not have identification and then apologized for being dishonest and produced a Louisiana ID card.


A check showed Brussell’s driver’s license was suspended, and the vehicle had no insurance. A warrant was located for Bussell for failure to appear in Ruston City Court on another driving under suspension charge.

Bussell appeared nervous and denied any drugs were inside the vehicle. A search located items in a zippered bag containing methamphetamine residue.

Bussell was booked for driving under suspension, no insurance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and the Ruston warrant.

Bail was set at $3,000.
