A recent traffic stop has led to the arrest of a Bienville Parish woman on an outstanding warrant and felony drug charges according to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office.

 

NPSO Patrol Operations Bureau deputies were patrolling in Campti on March 8 when they stopped a Chevrolet Tahoe at the intersections of Lebrum and Bass Streets for a traffic violation. Deputies observed suspicious activity in the vehicle just prior to the stop leading them to believe criminal activity existed. A back-up unit was contacted to assist.

 

Deputies asked the operator of the vehicle for a driver’s license in which they were informed by the violator they did not possess one. Deputies learned the operator’s driver license was suspended. That person is not being identified at this time due to no criminal charges. Deputies then observed a female identified as 26-year-old Hailey A. Taylor of Castor lying on the rear seat of the vehicle.

 

A local warrants check revealed that Taylor was wanted in Bienville Parish on an outstanding warrant.

Taylor was placed under arrest without incident. During a search of Taylor, incidental to the arrest, deputies discovered and seized approximately 11.5 grams of suspected methamphetamine and 2 glass pipes commonly used to smoke illegal narcotics concealed on her person.

 

Hailey A. Taylor, 26 of Castor, was transported and booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center charged with Possession of CDS Schedule II Methamphetamine, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Bienville Parish Warrant.

 

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

 

The driver was cited for Driving under Suspension and released at the scene.

 

Natchitoches Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Force Agents assisted.

 

Deputies S. Dieter and K. Padilla made the arrest.
