Assumption

Sheriff Leland Falcon reported this arrest:

--Calvin Troy Weatherford Jr., 39, Bayou Drive, Pierre Part, was arrested Monday on charges of obstruction of justice, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana (first offense) and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The charges arise from a suspicious person complaint from near Spur 70 in Plattenville.

Deputies were dispatched to the area late Monday night and located an individual matching the description of a suspicious person as provided by a complainant walking along the road.

Deputies made contact with Weatherford and engaged Weatherford in an interview. Deputies noted that Weatherford attempted to dispose of items believed to be controlled dangerous substances. The subject also attempted to swallow marijuana.

Deputies conducted a protective pat-down search of Weatherford and his belongings and located assorted paraphernalia and suspected methamphetamine.

Weatheford was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center pending a bond hearing.
