The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a Ruston man last week after he was seen improperly passing other vehicles and once stopped was found to be wanted.
Abraham Paita Priego, 21, was arrested June 4 after a deputy saw him passing at least three vehicles in a no passing zone on U.S. 80.
Priego provided a Louisiana identification card, but said he thought his driver’s license was under suspension.
A records check confirmed the suspended license and also indicated Priego was wanted for failure to appear in Ruston City Court.
Priego was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for driving under suspension, careless operation of a vehicle, and the City Court warrant.
Bail was set at $10,000.
