An Arcadia woman was arrested after she returned to a Simsboro Family Dollar store after being barred from returning to the premises.
Elizabeth Barnett, 27, was arrested for criminal trespass on April 14 after a store manager reported what was believed to be a drug deal occurring in the parking lot.
Lincoln Parish deputies found Barnett and two others in a vehicle on the parking lot. It was learned Barnett had been advised by an assistant manager in the past that she was barred from returning to the store. When confronted with this information, Barnett said the manager only told her one time not to return.
A records check showed Barnett was wanted in Bienville Parish for failure to appear in court on a possession of synthetic marijuana charge. She was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish detention center for criminal trespass and the Bienville Parish warrant.
