A man stopped and arrested on outstanding warrants was additionally charged with drug offenses after suspected methamphetamine was found on him at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
Zachary Fisher, 36, of Ruston, was stopped Sunday afternoon when Lincoln Parish deputies saw his gray Mazda traveling south on U.S. 167 and recognized it as Fisher’s vehicle. The deputies knew Fisher was wanted by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office for simple burglary.
Fisher was arrested, and the deputies learned he was also wanted on a warrant for a distribution of methamphetamine held by the Lincoln Parish Narcotics Enforcement Team.
Fisher was taken to the detention center and searched in more detail. A glass smoking pipe used to consume narcotics was found in the crease of his leg under his clothes. The pipe contained a crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamine.
Fisher was booked on the warrants for simple burglary and distribution of methamphetamine, as well as possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and introduction of contraband into a penal facility.
