A Farmerville man was arrested near Ruston last week after a state trooper learned the man was wanted in Texas.
Ronnie E. Grigsby, Jr., 38, was stopped for operating a vehicle with no inspection sticker on La. Highway 33 north of Ruston on March 14. A records check showed Grigsby, the registered owner of the vehicle, was wanted in Denton County, Texas, for drug possession.
Grigsby was arrested after the warrant was confirmed. Denton County authorities indicated they intend to extradite Grigsby back to Texas. He is being held at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center pending those proceedings.
