NAPOLEONVILLE – Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon reports the arrest of Kenneth Spears, 29, of 1936 Pailet Street, Harvey, LA, on traffic and drug law violations following an investigative inquiry by a uniformed patrol officer.

The deputy observed a vehicle parked partially on the roadway and blocking a private driveway. The incident occurred late Tuesday night on LA 70 in Pierre Part. The vehicle was unoccupied at the time. Upon checking the registration of the vehicle, the return indicated that it was not valid and was uninsured.

*Invalid Vehicle Registration
*Possession of Marijuana (Third Offense Felony)

Kenneth Spears was incarcerated pending a bond hearing.
