One man’s idea of recreation has landed him in hot water with the law after the vehicle he occupied was noticed parked in the street beside a “No Parking” sign at the city’s recreation center.

Minden Chief of Police Jared McIver said 24-year-old Jaloyld Jamesterrio Kimble is now parked at the parish prison facing one charge of possession of CDS Sch. I (marijuana) plus being the subject of a pair of outstanding warrants.

McIver reportedly was checking vehicles illegally parked on the recreation center’s roadway when he observed an individual sitting in the back seat of one car which nearly blocked one lane of traffic. When the Chief approached, he noticed the strong odor of marijuana coming from inside.

When questioned, Kimble reportedly admitted he was in possession of a “doobie” in his pocket. He reportedly complied to a request to empty his pockets, and removed just over eight grams of natural marijuana.

Officer Jessica Thompson, who arrived to assist, reportedly discovered Kimble also had on active bench warrant through MPD and was wanted on a fugitive warrant from the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office.

He reportedly is being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Facility under a total bond of $40,000.
