A Tennessee man was arrested in Ruston last week after drugs were found in his vehicle during a traffic stop.

McCorkhill was stopped by a Louisiana state trooper on East California Avenue for blocking the roadway and improper backing. During a pat down for weapons, the trooper found a syringe in McCorkhill’s front left pants pocket.
During a search of the vehicle, the trooper found a glass smoking pipe used for consuming methamphetamine, several small bottles of liquid saline and cotton balls, and a bag containing a baggie of suspected methamphetamine and more drug paraphernalia.
In addition to the drug charges, McCorkhill was cited for improper stopping in the roadway and improper backing.
