A motorist was arrested on a traffic stop Thursday after a deputy sheriff found marijuana and hydrocodone in her car.
Marion E. McCann, 22, of Ruston was stopped for an inoperable brake light about 3 p.m. Thursday. McCann stepped out of the car and approached the Lincoln Parish deputy, a move he recognized as sometimes intended to keep an officer away from the vehicle.
McCann appeared extremely nervous and during the investigation, a search was conducted. The deputy found a small amount of suspected marijuana and a tablet of hydrocodone, a Schedule II controlled substance in the vehicle.
McCann was booked for possession of a controlled substance and improper tail lamps.
