A Ruston woman was arrested last week after police saw her standing in the roadway and subsequently found she was in possession of cocaine.
Iresha Percy, 33, was arrested about 8 p.m. Aug. 18 on South Trenton Street.
A Ruston police officer on patrol saw Percy standing in the middle of the street. As the officer passed, she did not move from the roadway. When the officer approached Percy, she allegedly threw an item on the ground. The officer retrieved a homemade pipe for smoking crack cocaine. Another crack pipe was retrieved from her pocket and crack cocaine was found in her sock.
Percy was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and littering. Bail was set at $2,500.
