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.
