A Farmerville man was arrested last week following a traffic stop on La. Highway 33 by a Lincoln Parish deputy.
Tevin L. Gipson, 29, was stopped at approximately 11:16 p.m. on May 20 after deputies observed a vehicle traveling south on LA 33 without an illuminated license plate, according to an arrest affidavit.
The affidavit states deputies initiated a traffic stop at Commons Court and determined the vehicle’s registration had expired in December 2025.
While speaking with Gipson, deputies saw multiple packs of rolling papers. After being advised of his rights, Gipson reportedly stated he had approximately two grams of marijuana inside the vehicle.
A probable cause search was conducted and deputies located a small bag of suspected marijuana wedged between the driver’s seat and center console.
It was discovered Gipson was wanted for failure to appear in Third District Court to have his sentence imposed for previous charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Gipson was transported to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked for possession of marijuana, no license plate lights, expired vehicle registration, possession of drug paraphernalia, and the two District Court warrants.
