A Simsboro man stopped for driving with no headlights on the Grambling State University campus was charged with several drug offenses last week.
Trenston J. Allen, 19, was stopped about 8:40 p.m. on November 21 when a GSU police officer saw him traveling on R.W.E. Jones Drive with no headlights or tail lights on.
As the GSU officer talked with Allen, a strong odor of marijuana was detected coming from inside the vehicle. During a search, the officer located a bag of suspected marijuana inside another bag on the front passenger seat. Also located were clear sandwich bags, lighters, smoked marijuana “blunts,” and $495 in cash.
Allen admitted the marijuana was his. He was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana over 14 gram, violation of the drug free zone law, possession of drug paraphernalia, and no headlights.
Allen’s bail was set at $2,500.
