Sheriff Leland Falcon reported these arrests:

--Timothy Wayne Collier, 25, Honey Lane, Bayou L’Ourse, was arrested Sunday on fugitive warrants from the Morgan City Police Department alleging two counts of theft, battery of a dating partner and resisting an officer.

--Ali Azadi, 36, Lilac Drive, Gray, was issued summons on charges of view obstructed, no insurance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The arrests resulted from a traffic stop on La. 398 near La. 1010 west of Labadieville on Sunday.

A uniformed patrol deputy stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation and made contact with the driver, now identified as Azadi

The deputy noted the vehicles windshield to be broken, obstructing the driver’s view, and the vehicle was uninsured. The deputy then made contact with the passengers occupying the vehicle, one of whom was Collier.

During the initial interview, Collier provided false identifying information to the deputy. Upon learning Collier’s correct identity, it was determined that he was wanted by the Morgan City Police Department on numerous charges. Wayne Collier was arrested.

The investigating deputy requested and was granted consent to search the suspect vehicle. During that process, assorted drug paraphernalia was seized and was attributed to Azadi.

Collier was booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center pending transfer to the Morgan City Police Department.

Collier was booked Monday at the Morgan City Police Department on the theft counts and four counts of failure to appear to pay fine (6th Ward Morgan City Court).
