A Ruston man was arrested by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office Sunday after he was stopped for an obscured windshield and marijuana was found inside the vehicle.
Casey F. Bridwell, 39, was stopped about 2 p.m. Feb. 9 on U.S. 167 near Chautauqua Road after a deputy saw damage to the windshield obstructing the driver’s view.
As the deputy approached the truck, he smelled a strong odor of green marijuana. An unrestrained four-year-old girl was found on the rear seat.
When asked about the presence of contraband, Bridwell said there was marijuana between the driver’s seat and the center console. A search of the vehicle yielded a bag of marijuana and a suspected marijuana cigar.
A criminal history check showed Bridwell had been arrested on drug charges four times since 2019. He was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for obstructed windshield, no child restraint, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of a controlled substance in the presence of a juvenile.
Bridwell’s bail amount was not available.
