A Monroe woman was arrested early Wednesday morning on drug charges and numerous warrants after a Lincoln Parish deputy found her walking in the roadway of La. Highway 820.
Deputy S. Carr was on patrol about 3 a.m. when he saw Brianna Carter, 29, walking. Carter pointed out her broken down vehicle nearby.
The deputy followed Carter to the vehicle where he observed multiple items lying on the ground around the vehicle. One of the items was an opened reading glasses case containing a clear glass pipe commonly associated with smoking narcotics and a clear plastic bag of suspected methamphetamine.
Carter claimed ownership of the contraband.
A records check indicated Carter was wanted on several warrants from Ouachita Parish. She was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and six Ouachita Parish warrants. The nature of the Ouachita warrants was not specified in the deputy’s report.
Bail on the local charges was set at $2,500.
