Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a north Natchitoches Parish man and woman on felony drug charges during a traffic stop in Campti Oct. 26, according to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Thursday at 1 am, NPSO Patrol Division deputies stopped a 2005 Ford F-250 for a traffic violation in the Campti area, near the intersections of Bayou and Lebrum Streets.
As they were attempting to stop the vehicle deputies observed the operator discarding what appeared to be suspected drug paraphernalia from the vehicle. The operator was identified as Caleb B. Sapp, 27 of Campti.

A computer background check revealed that Sapp’s driver’s license was suspended and he was wanted by the Tenth Judicial District Court on an outstanding Natchitoches Parish Bench Warrant for Failure to Appear. Sapp was placed under arrest by deputies.
A passenger in the vehicle was identified as Samantha Lynn Smith, 33 of Campti. A computer background check revealed that Smith was wanted by Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Tennessee for Manufacturing Schedule II Narcotics-Felony. Smith was arrested without incident.

Deputies returned to the area where the suspected drug paraphernalia was thrown from the vehicle discarding several syringes loaded with suspected methamphetamine.
A search of the vehicle also led to the seizure of suspected methamphetamine.

Both were charged with:
*Caleb B. Sapp, 27, of the 100 block of Pemberton Lane, Campti, La. transported and booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center charged with Possession of CDS Schedule II Methamphetamine, Failure to Appear, and traffic offenses.

*Samantha Lynn Smith, 33, of the 600 block of Holman Loop, Campti, La. transported and booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center charged with being a Tennessee Fugitive for Manufacturing of Schedule II Narcotics.

A Tenth Judicial District Court Judge set Sapp’s bond at $10,350 dollars.
Smith is awaiting extradition proceedings to Tennessee.

The seized narcotics will be submitted to the crime lab for narcotics analysis.
