A Natchitoches man stopped in Ruston by Louisiana State Police was arrested after drugs and a gun were found in his vehicle.
A state trooper stopped Thomas Hebert Harmon, Jr., 59, on June 6 for a traffic violation on La. Highway 33 in Ruston. A Ruston police officer backing up the trooper saw a glass “bong” used for smoking drugs in the rear passenger cup holder.

Harmon was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of methamphetamine, possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
