Woman booked on numerous traffic offenses

An Arcadia woman was arrested by Ruston Police on numerous traffic charges late Monday night after she was stopped for running a stop sign.

Amy Lykins, 41, was stopped on West Kentucky Avenue in Ruston about 11:30 p.m. Monday. When Lykins could not produce a driver’s license, proof of insurance, or vehicle registration, a check revealed no license had been issued to her.


Four warrants for failure to appear in Ruston City Court were found for Lykins. She was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for failure to register a vehicle, driving under suspension and the warrants charging her with failure to report an accident and three counts of no driver’s license. Bail was set at $8,000.
