The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a Downsville man last Tuesday morning after it was discovered he was wanted for felonies in Ouachita Parish and in Mississippi.
Johnny L. Franks, 54, was stopped on Crocker Road about 3 a.m. Tuesday morning for not utilizing a turn signal. Once Franks was identified, a records check indicated he was wanted in Mississippi for possession of methamphetamine and in Ouachita Parish for simple burglary.
Once the warrants were confirmed, Franks was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and later transferred to the Ouachita Correctional Center.
