Methamphetamine found on traffic stop

A Choudrant woman was arrested Wednesday after she was stopped for a violation and drugs were found in her vehicle.

Alana Marie Howard, 30, was charged with possession of methamphetamine on August 28 by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office.

A deputy stopped Howard because her Buick SUV was not displaying a license plate. When asked for her driver’s license, the deputy noticed she appeared very nervous and was shaking. She denied having any drugs in the vehicle.


A subsequent search located methamphetamine in a cup in the vehicle. Howard was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
