Officers from separate law enforcement agencies made drug arrests Tuesday involving a Webster Parish man and a Bossier Parish woman using different modes of transportation.

Louisiana Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) agents Sgt. Justin Greer and Austin Ashley observed a Doyline man in a water vessel near Green Park and stopped to investigate.

While questioning 40-year-old Green Park resident John Outlaw, the agents noticed a container in his pocket. In response to questions, Outlaw told agents the container contained insulin, however a search revealed a substance believed to be methamphetamines.

Agents also reportedly found a syringe, a marijuana pipe and marijuana on the suspect during a further search. After he was read his rights, Outlaw reportedly admitted the substance in the container was methamphetamines.

Outlaw is currently being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center charged with possession of CDS Sch. I (marijuana), possession of CDS Sch II (methamphetamines) possession of drug paraphernalia.  His bond has been set at $3,500.

Back on land, Doyline police officer Shawn Woody stopped 54-year-old Vicky Lynn Kelly of Haughton Tuesday for a traffic violation on Pilgrim Rest Rd.  just before 8:30 p.m.

Kelly is being held in the parish jail where she faces charges of possession of CDS Sch. II (methamphetamines) and possession of a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance. No bond has been set.
