A Ruston man wanted on warrants was arrested by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office after a traffic stop.
Chadarrious L. Spencer was stopped after he failed to signal a turn from Farmerville Street onto Spice Avenue at about 7:30 p.m. June 10.
A deputy detected the slight odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. A record check on the Spence indicated he was wanted on warrants from Bienville Parish for dating for battery of a dating partner, criminal trespass, unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling, and criminal damage the property.
While the deputy was waiting for back up, a passenger bolted from the vehicle and ran away and has not been apprehended as of publication time.
When additional deputies arrived, Spencer was removed from the vehicle and arrested. He was asked if he had any contraband on him and he stated no. A search of the vehicle located a small amount of loose marijuana in the center console of the vehicle.
Spencer was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, two counts of obstruction of justice, improper turn, and the four Bienville Parish warrants.
