TRAFFIC STOP – DRUG LAW / VIOLATIONS, FAILURE TO APPEAR – BARNEY C. SIMMONS – I.C.E. ARREST

LABADIEVILLE – Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon reports the arrest of Barney C. Simmons, 64, of 122 Rose Lane, Labadieville, LA, on drug possession and traffic charges as well as a warrant for failure to appear on Friday afternoon.

A uniformed patrol deputy assigned to the I.C.E. detail observed a northbound vehicle on LA 308 near Labadieville and initiated a stop of that vehicle. The deputy made contact with the driver, now identified as Barney C. Simmons and conducted an officer / violator interview.

The deputy determined that Barney C. Simmons was driving under a suspended driver’s license and was wanted in Assumption Parish on a warrant for failure to appear. At the conclusion of the interview, the deputy believed that additional investigation was warranted.

The deputy summoned a K-9 to the scene for the purpose of conducting an open-air sniff of the suspect vehicle which produced a positive alert for the presence of controlled dangerous substances.

A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of crack cocaine. Barney C. Simmons was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center on charges of:

*Possession of Crack Cocaine
*Speeding
*Driving Under a Suspended Driver’s License
*Failure to Appear in Court on Charges of Driving While Intoxicated – First Offense and
Failure to Yield / Stop Sign Violation

Barney C. Simmons remains incarcerated pending a bond hearing.
