Woman arrested for drugs after suspicious person call

The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a woman last Friday after deputies responded to a report of a suspicious person in a minivan near the intersection of U.S. 167 and La. Highway 3072.

Stephanie M. Jobe, 50, was arrested June 27 for drug possession. According to a report, deputies responded to a fireworks stand after receiving a complaint about a suspicious person in a minivan. Deputies found Jobe rummaging around inside the vehicle.

The report said a deputy saw Jobe conceal a prescription bottle. When asked about the bottle, Jobe turned it over and the deputy found the prescription was in another person’s name. The contents were available only by prescription.

A search of the vehicle uncovered a glass smoking pipe commonly used to consume methamphetamine, a bag containing suspected methamphetamine, a rubber syringe-like object containing suspected methamphetamine and several other syringes, according to the report.

Jobe was transported to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked for possession of methamphetamine, possession of a legend drug, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
