A Louisiana State Police traffic stop early Thursday morning led to the arrest of a Jonesboro man after authorities discovered approximately seven pounds of marijuana in his vehicle.
According to a report from Louisiana State Police, a trooper stopped Latrevious Williams, 35, on June 19 around 2:26 AM on Interstate 20 near mile marker 44. The stop was initiated due to Williams driving in the left-hand lane, following another vehicle too closely, and having only one functioning tail lamp.
After making contact with the driver, the trooper observed what were described as “numerous indicators of criminal activity.” Williams then signed a Louisiana State Police consent-to-search form. A search of the vehicle followed, during which the trooper located a trash bag containing approximately seven pounds of marijuana on the back seat.
Williams was arrested and booked on multiple charges, including driving on the right side of the road exceptions, following too closely, driving under suspension, no required tail lamps, and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
All subjects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
