Dixie Inn Police arrested two Bossier City men on a host of drug and other charges after a traffic stop last week.
On May 9, at approximately 11:00 p.m., Dixie Inn Police were informed about a possible impaired driver, according to a report from Police Chief James Edwards.
Two officers responded to the call and located a vehicle matching the description given driving westbound on U.S. Hwy 80.
