Natchitoches Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Force Agents arrested a Jefferson Davis Parish man on felony drug charges during a traffic stop on Interstate-49 near Cloutierville on Sunday according to Natchitoches Parish Sheriff Victor Jones Jr.
NMJDTF Criminal Patrol Unit deputies stopped a northbound 2017 Ford Expedition on Nov. 5 at 1:45 pm for Speeding 98 miles per hour in a posted 75 mph speed zone on I-49 near the Cloutierville exit.
Agents identified the operator of the vehicle as Mister Castille of the Jennings area.
During the traffic stop, agents learned Castille’s driver’s license was suspended and they smelled a strong marijuana odor.
Agents say while talking to one of the vehicle occupants (identified as Ernest C. Nathan II, 38 of Jennings) he reached into his pockets handing them two bags of suspected marijuana.
A search of the vehicle also led to the seizure of several pharmaceutical narcotic pills identified as alprazolam, tramadol and vyvanse.
Nathan confessed that all narcotics on his person and in the vehicle belonged to him.
As a result agents arrested:
Ernest Christopher Nathan II, 38, of the 1700 block of Wilbur Rochelle Street, Jennings, La. was transported and booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center charged with Possession of CDS I Marijuana, Illegal Possession of CDS Schedule II Narcotics and 2-counts of Illegal Possession of CDS Schedule IV Alprazolam and Tramadol.
Nathan remains in the Natchitoches Detention Center awaiting bond.
Castille was cited for Speeding 98/75, Driving under Suspension and released along with the other passenger without criminal charges.
The seized narcotics will be submitted to the crime lab for narcotics analysis and identification for prosecution purposes.
Deputy B. Smith made the arrest.
You can’t fix dumb! But I like it. Makes their a little easier.?
In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein people of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude. SOURCE: Wikipedia
