A Ruston man was arrested on drug and weapons charges last Thursday by the Lincoln Parish Special Response Team along with investigators from several agencies.
Ja’Kiron McGuire, 18, was arrested during the execution of a search warrant at a residence on Clinton Circle in southeast Ruston about 5:30 a.m. on October 17. The SRT team was accompanied by investigators from the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office, Lincoln Parish Narcotics Enforcement Team, and Union Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators had knowledge McGuire was wanted on an outstanding felony warrant for simple burglary from Grambling State University. He was located lying on a bed in a bedroom in the residence. Underneath McGuire’s pillow, a Glock 9mm pistol with a loaded magazine was located.
Seized in the search were four cell phones, a necklace, a red ledger book, a box of 9mm ammunition, U. S. Postal Service packaging addressed to an alias allegedly used by McGuire, a bag of suspected marijuana, digital scales, a bottle containing doxcycline monohydrate, an AR-15 style rifle flash suppressor, and a red notebook containing information relevant to the case.
McGuire was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a legend drug, illegal carrying of a weapon, and the burglary warrant.
Bail was set at $101,000.
