Traffic stop nets arrest
Deputies arrested two people and seized over two pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop last Friday night, according to West Feliciana Parish Sheriff J. Austin Daniel. Louis D. Townsend, 29 of Tenn. and Sonia Brown, 26 of Miss. were each booked in the WFP jail on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Townsend was additionally charged with driving without a license plate. The arrest happened after Narcotics Division officer, Sgt. Chris Green, stopped a vehicle on Hwy 61 that did not have a license plate. Green smelled what appeared to be marijuana and asked Townsend questions. Townsend admitted to having marijuana and handed over a small bag to Green. Following a seach of the vehicle, Green found more marijuana hidden in a two-gallon plastic bag under a spare tire in the car’s trunk.
