A Ruston man and a Jonesboro woman were arrested for drug possession and other charges Sunday after deputies investigated a homeowner’s complaint that a suspicious vehicle was parked in his driveway.
Ricky G. Harrison 73, and Willie L. Heart, 57, were arrested at a Highway 3061 residence on March 22 when they were found in a pickup truck backed into the caller’s driveway.
When deputies arrived, Harrison left the truck and approached, but was returned to the vehicle and asked for identification. Inside the truck, a deputy saw numerous plastic bags, rolling papers, marijuana, and a white powder on the center console.
Hart, the passenger, said they were just having fun and smoking a little. A deputy saw a white powder on her door armrest.
A search of the vehicle located suspected marijuana, numerous burnt marijuana cigarettes, drug paraphernalia, and a small amount of crack cocaine.
Harrison and Hart were arrested and both were booked as a Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana, possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and criminal trespass.
