A Choudrant man was arrested last week after a Lincoln Parish deputy encountered him at a trash dumpster site and discovered he was wanted on several warrants.
A deputy on patrol saw a vehicle parked at the dumpster site on Pleasant Grove Road about 8:30 p.m. on April 19. The vehicle was not displaying a license plate and the deputy asked the driver, Paul Jacob Letterman, 37, about it.
A records check showed Letterman was wanted on several warrants from the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office and Ruston City Court.
Letterman was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish detention center for parish charges of false imprisonment, battery of a dating partner, and child support execution of sentence as well as two warrants for failure to appear in Ruston City Court for a simple criminal damage to property and possession of drug paraphernalia.
