Daggs was previously arrested in Assumption Parish on a charge of possession of MDMA. He failed to appear in court Aug. 21. A warrant was issued for Daggs’ arrest on Aug. 23.

On Wednesday morning, a uniformed patrol deputy observed a vehicle commit a traffic violation in the Bayou L'Ourse area and initiated a stop of that vehicle. The deputy made contact with the driver, identified as Daggs.

During the interview, it was determined that Daggs was driving under a suspended driver’s license. It was further determined that Daggs was wanted on a warrant for failure to appear.

Daggs was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center on charges improper or unsafe passing and driving under a suspended license.

Deputies made contact with the complainant, who advised that she was the domestic partner of Dugas at the time of this incident. As the couple returned home from a family visit,
