A Lincoln Parish deputy sheriff stopped a Cadillac Escalade in Ruston about 3 a.m. on August 9 because the vehicle did not have a visible license plate.
A records check of the driver, Robert Bernard Crew, 59, of Ruston, showed he was wanted for failure to appear in Ruston City Court on a hit and run charge.
A passenger, Shadarria S. Hammock, 38, of Ruston, was found to be wanted on three warrants from Third Judicial District Court.
Hammock was arrested and placed in a patrol car. When asked if she wanted to take her purse with her, Hammock insisted on leaving it in the vehicle. When Crew was arrested, he gave consent to search the vehicle and two glass smoking pipes containing methamphetamine and a bag of methamphetamine were found in Hammock’s purse.
Hammock was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and warrants for failure to appear in District Court for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and improper supervision of a minor by a parent. Crew was booked on the hit and run warrant.
