A Choudrant man was arrested on drug charges last week after he was stopped by Louisiana State Police for not wearing a seat belt.
Kristopher J. Kennedy, 33, was stopped on La. Highway 820 by a state trooper about 2:00 p.m. October 26. According to the trooper’s report, Kennedy admitted he was not wearing a seat belt.
A records check showed Kennedy’s driver’s license and that he was wanted by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office for warrants for possession of a Schedule II controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
After he was arrested, Kennedy was asked if he had anything on him. He admitted to having a glass smoking pipe in his underwear.
Kennedy was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of drug paraphernalia and the two warrants. He was issued citations for driving under suspension and no seatbelt. His bail was set at $100,000.
