A 33-year-old woman was arrested last week after she flagged down a Lincoln Parish deputy who discovered she was wanted on an outstanding warrant.
Katharena A. Flowers of Junction City was arrested Feb. 19 after she flagged down a Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicle on U.S. 167 to report she and her boyfriend had gotten into a verbal argument, and she had left the residence.
A records check showed Flowers was wanted for failure to appear in Ruston City Court in 2023 on a charge of theft of property less than $1,000.
Flowers was arrested and asked if she had any contraband on her. She said no and was taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center where suspected cocaine and two tablets without a prescription were found in her purse.
Flowers was booked for possession of cocaine, possession of a legend drug, possession of drug paraphernalia, and the warrant. Her bail was set at $5,500.
