The charge resulted from a Thursday evening traffic stop on La. 70 in Pierre Part.
A uniformed patrol deputy observed a vehicle commit a traffic violation and initiated a stop of the vehicle.
The deputy made contact with the driver and one passenger, identified as Beeson.
The deputy made observations consistent with illegal drug activity and thought that additional investigation was warranted.
Consent to search the vehicle was secured by the deputy. During the search process, a quantity of methamphetamine was seized and attributed to Beeson.

The charges resulted from a September 2019 incident.
Deputies responded to a disturbance call and made contact with the complainant, who was the domestic partner of Levy. The deputies noted that the complainant, now victim had blood-stained clothing.
The couple had been to an outing and later went home.
At that time, a disagreement occurred. The argument escalated to the point that Levy became physical and caused noticeable injury to the victim.
Levy was gone from the scene when deputies arrived.
Deputies secured arrest warrants for Levy, but he remained at large. Deputies further discovered that Levy was wanted on multiple failure to appear warrants.
Levy was arrested by the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office.
He was transported and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center pending a bond hearing.
