A traffic stop conducted by deputies with the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office has resulted in the arrest of a Sabine Parish man on multiple felony narcotics charges, along with outstanding warrants, according to Natchitoches Parish Sheriff Stuart Wright.
NPSO IMPACT Team deputies were patrolling on Hwy. 6 near Robeline on April 24 around 8:28 pm when they stopped a 2007 Lexus for improper lane usage and other traffic violations.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as 42-year-old Daniel Thomas Bosarge of Zwolle. Upon making contact with Bosarge, deputies detected a strong odor of marijuana emitting from his person. When questioned about the presence of illegal narcotics, Bosarge stated that he had “some stuff in his pocket.”
During a probable cause search, deputies discovered approximately 31 grams (just over one ounce) of suspected methamphetamine in Bosarge’s pocket. A subsequent search of the vehicle led to the discovery and seizure of approximately 5 grams of suspected marijuana, three suspected hydrocodone pills, a syringe containing suspected liquid methamphetamine, and a glass smoking apparatus commonly used to consume illicit narcotics.
A check through the NLETS system revealed that Bosarge had prior narcotics-related arrests and was wanted by both the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office on outstanding warrants.
Bosarge was taken into custody without incident, although he reportedly told deputies he was “about to run.”
Daniel T. Bosarge was transported and booked into the LaSalle Corrections/Natchitoches Detention Center and charged with:
Two counts of Possession of CDS Schedule II (Methamphetamine & Hydrocodone)
One count of Possession of CDS Schedule I (Marijuana)
One count of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
Failure to Appear in the 10th Judicial District Court (May 2024) for:
Possession of CDS II with Intent to Distribute
Possession of CDS I with Intent to Distribute
Possession of a Firearm by a Person Convicted of a Felony
Illegal Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance in the Presence of Persons Under 17
Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
Bosarge was also booked as a fugitive from Sabine Parish. He remains in the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center. All seized evidence will be submitted to the crime lab for analysis.
The NPSO IMPACT Team is comprised of deputies from the NPSO Criminal Investigations Bureau, Patrol Operations, and Drug Enforcement Unit.
Sheriff Stuart Wright stated, “This arrest is a direct result of proactive patrol efforts and the continued commitment of our deputies to keep illegal narcotics off our streets. Individuals engaged in drug activity and those attempting to evade the law will be identified and held accountable.
