Another case of staying in his own lane – in this case, district – netted Minden Police another drug arrest.

“Since we’ve been patrolling in districts, we’ve made several drug arrests in this area of town,” said Chief Jared McIver in reference to an arrest made on East Todd Street in Minden. “This is just another case of Sgt. (Christopher) Cayer being in his assigned district at the right time.”

Christin Brooke Morgan, 34, of the 7700 block of Hwy. 154, Jamestown, La., was arrested in the early hours Sunday morning when Sgt. Cayer conducted a traffic stop on her vehicle. She is charged with possession of methamphetamine, 2 counts of possession of Clonazepan, possession of Vyvanse, possession of Gabapentin, resisting an officer by false name, 6 outstanding warrants and as a fugitive from Bossier City Police Department.

“The vehicle’s license plate light was out, and Sgt. Cayer stopped her at the intersection of East Todd and Drew Lane,” said the chief.

During the traffic stop, the passenger produced false names and no identification.

“The passenger was acting extremely nervous, failing to maintain eye contact and her hands were shaking,” McIver said. “The driver told the officer Morgan had given a false name because of outstanding warrants.”

 When the officer asked Morgan if he could search the vehicle, she reportedly said she did not care because the vehicle did not belong to her.

During the search, Sgt. Cayer located a prescription bottle – orange, marked “Dextroamphetamin” and prescribed to Morgan. The pills inside were reportedly Vyvanse and one marked S489. There were 8 yellow round pills marked Teva 832 that were identified as Clonazepam and 4 green round pills also identified as Clonazepam. A loose white capsule was identified as Gabapentin.
