Grambling Police arrested a Springhill man last week after a traffic stop yielded drugs.
Malcolm Tyrone Peoples, Jr., 33, was stopped on U. S. 80 for an unreadable license plate. As the officer spoke with Peoples, a strong odor of marijuana was detected coming from the vehicle. Peoples was asked to step out of the vehicle.
During the search, Peoples refused to follow verbal commands and refused to be handcuffed. After he was restrained, a search of the vehicle located a jar and several clear plastic baggies containing suspected marijuana. One tablet of tramadol was also located.
Peoples was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of a legend drug, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting an officer, and improper display of a license plate. His bail was set at $26,500.
