A Bastrop man was arrested in Lincoln Parish last week after a deputy spotted him driving a stolen vehicle.
Tradarrius Markezz Mitchell, 37, was stopped on Interstate 20 in Ruston on December 6 at about 1:20 p.m.
A Lincoln Parish deputy spotted the vehicle westbound on I-20 near milepost 89. Once the stolen status of the vehicle was verified, it was stopped near the Tech Drive exit. As the vehicle stopped, Mitchell, the driver and sole occupant, threw a bag of marijuana out the window.
Mitchell was taken into custody and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for illegal possession of stolen things and possession of marijuana.
