Ruston Police arrested a Dubach man last week after he was allegedly involved in a car crash and drugs were found in the vehicle.
Kobe Ty’rell Mack, 20, was attempting to move the vehicle out of a ditch when officers responded to a crash at the intersection of Groveland Avenue and Main Street in Ruston on March 18. Officers noted Mack was unsteady on his feet and unable to stand properly.
Mack was checked out by ambulance personnel. Mack identified himself as John Williams, but the name and date of birth could not be located in the state computer system. Further investigation revealed Mack was his correct name.
During a search for an insurance card on the vehicle, police located a sack containing marijuana in the glove compartment, a bag of marijuana behind the driver’s seat, and a digital scale in the console cupholder.
Mack said the drugs belong to a friend who had left them left it in the car. He said he crashed the car after he dozed off while driving.
Mack was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, reckless operation of a vehicle, and resisting an officer by providing false information. His bail was set at $11,000.
