A Dubach man who possibly overdosed during a traffic stop was treated at the hospital and later released to be booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
Kenyotta M. Wilson, 42, was stopped by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office on March 14 after the license plate on his vehicle show that it was not insured.
The deputy also found Wilson’s driver’s license was under suspension. During the stop, the deputy’s investigation lead him to search Wilson’s vehicle. During the search, the deputy found a package of syringe needles, a device used to roll marijuana cigarettes, rolling papers, and a small amount of suspected methamphetamine.
As the deputy was completing the search, Wilson’s demeanor changed significantly. He began sweating profusely to the point perspiration was puddling on the ground, as well as wild emotional swings from calmness to crying and screaming. Wilson complained about his chest burning, and the deputy concluded he may have swallowed contraband to prevent it from being discovered.
While waiting for an ambulance to respond, Wilson told an officer, “I don’t know what I took, but it’s got my chest burning.” An ambulance transported Wilson to the Northern Louisiana Medical Center where he was treated and released. He was then booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under suspension, and no liability insurance.
Wilson’s bail was set at $12,000.
