Lincoln Parish deputies responded to a Highway 80 residence Wednesday regarding a complaint of an unwanted person. Tanner B. Dethomas, 30, had gone to the residence although he was under a protective order to stay away, according to a deputy’s report.
While deputies were at the residence, Dethomas made several phone calls to the victim as well as text texting her. The victim said to Thomas passes by her residence several times a day checking to see if she is home. She provided videos of Dethomas at the front door as well as passing the house in his truck. She provided deputies with a copy of the protective order which banned him from stalking or harassing her.
Dethomas was found at his residence and was arrested. He asked deputies to lock his truck, and while doing so, a strong odor of marijuana was detected inside. A glass jar containing suspected marijuana and drug paraphernalia were recovered.
Dethomas was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for violation of a protective order, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
