A Lincoln Parish woman was arrested on several charges when she was encountered by deputies conducting an unrelated investigation at a mobile home park on Gahagan Road.
Tosha Renee Baker, 50, was arrested on a bench warrant and other charges on December 13 as Lincoln Paris deputies arrived at the local location to investigate a trespassing complaint.
Baker was an occupant in a vehicle that was checked by deputies. She first gave her name Kishie Mitchell, but then spelled the name incorrectly. A records check was unable to locate any person by that name. Baker eventually stated she lied and that her name was Tasha Graham with a different date of birth.
No record could be found of that name, but eventually a record was found for Baker including a bench warrant for her arrest for failure to appear in Third District Court on a simple battery charge.
When she was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center, a crack smoking pipe was found concealed in her pants. She was booked for possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting an officer by providing false information, and the simple battery warrant.
