The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Department arrested an Arkansas man after he told a deputy he had “a good amount” of marijuana in his vehicle.
Jarvis D. Reed, 19, of Camden, Arkansas, was arrested on October 18 when a deputy saw his vehicle traveling on U. S. 80. The deputy stopped him for an equipment violation and saw what appeared to be a partially smoked marijuana cigar in the ashtray in the center console.
When questioned about any illegal substances in the vehicle, Reed said he had “a good amount” of marijuana.
A bag of marijuana was found in the center console on top of a box of sandwich bags and a digital scale, items indicative of drug distribution.
Reed said he was on the way to a concert on the Grambling State University campus. He was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, and improper lights. Bail was set at $15,000.
