The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a motorist for drug possession Thursday night after she was stopped for a traffic violation.
Jennifer M. Woods-Lowery, 41, of Ruston, was stopped about 10 p.m. Thursday night when a deputy saw that her white Mercedes did not have working taillights. The vehicle was stopped on U.S. 167 and the deputy explained the nature of the violation. A records check showed the driver was wanted by Ruston Police on an active bench warrant for theft of property under $1000.
A search of the vehicle located a zippered bag containing suspected methamphetamine and a glass pipe commonly used for smoking drugs, along with a card with the driver’s name on it.
Lowery was booked for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, no taillights, and the Ruston warrant. Bail on the first three charges was set at $11,000.
