A Robeline man was arrested by Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Deputies and Robeline Police on drug charges following a suspicous person complaint Nov. 13 at 9:05 p.m., according to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Patrol Division deputies and Robeline Police responded to 911 reports of a suspicious man walking in yards and on Many Street in Robeline. While checking the area for suspicious activity they came in contact with a person on La. Hwy. 6 West, identified as Bronson D. Smith of Robeline.

During a search of Smith, deputies discovered several cellophane baggies containing suspected methamphetamine.

Robeline Police also held an outstanding warrant on Smith for domestic abuse battery.
