Woman found with ecstasy on traffic stop

A Shreveport woman was arrested in Lincoln Parish last week after suspected ecstasy was found in her wallet on a traffic stop.

Shamaya Lashaya Tillman, 19, was arrested for possession of MDMA, also known as “ecstasy,” on March 31 after a car was stopped for an equipment violation by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Tillman was traveling as a passenger in a vehicle on U. S. 80 in Ruston at about 12:30 a.m. A deputy speaking with the driver smelled an odor of burnt marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. During a search of the vehicle, the deputy found a single tablet of suspected MDMA inside a wallet.


Tillman stated the wallet was hers. She was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
