A Simsboro man was arrested Thursday after a quantity of THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana, was found in his vehicle.
Officers of the Lincoln Parish Narcotics Enforcement Team were conducting surveillance at Ken’s Mini Mart when they saw an apparent drug transaction in the parking lot. The officers approached a vehicle driven by Michael Lorenz, 26. Lorez admitted there were “carts” in the vehicle. The officers knew “carts” was a slang term for THC cartridges.
In a search of the vehicle, approximately 572 grams of THC cartridges and THC products were discovered.
Lorenz was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. His bail was set at $50,000.
