A Ruston man was arrested Monday by Louisiana State Police after he was stopped for a seatbelt violation and was determined to be wanted on drug charges.
Derek D’Angelo Braggs, 29, was stopped on East Mississippi Avenue on March 16 by a state trooper who noticed Braggs was not wearing a seatbelt.
During the course of the traffic stop, a record check revealed Braggs was wanted on outstanding warrants for distribution of crack cocaine and violation of the controlled substances law establishing drug-free zones.
Braggs was arrested on the warrants held by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office and booked at the parish detention center.
