A Dubach man was arrested last Friday after a Lincoln Parish deputy found he had no driver’s license and was wanted for failure to appear in court on a previous traffic charge.
Pedro Celestino Tomas Velasquez, 41, was arrested August 2 after he was stopped for an equipment violation on U.S. 167 in Vienna. A record check showed Velasquez had not been issued a driver’s license and was wanted for failure to appear in Ruston City Court on a speeding charge.
Velasquez was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for improper lights, no driver’s license and the warrant. Bail was set at $3,000.
