A woman wanted on a warrant was found with drugs after she was arrested by Ruston Police last week.
Paulina Marin, 21, of Dubach, was arrested Aug. 28 after a call reported she was in the vicinity of the North Service Road.
At about 11 a.m., RPD received a call of a wanted person at a location but she was gone upon officers’ arrival. Later, an officer spotted her in a parking lot of the 700 block of the North Service Road.
She was placed under arrest and asked several times if she had any illegal items on her prior to reaching the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
When Marin stepped out of the patrol car inside the detention center, she was found to have a small plastic bag of suspected methamphetamine in her hand.
Marin was booked for possession of methamphetamine, introduction of contraband into a correctional facility, and a warrant from Third District Court in Union Parish on a charge of introduction of contraband into a correctional facility. Bail on the Lincoln Parish charges was set at $5,000.
