A Jonesboro man was arrested last week after a traffic stop in Grambling resulted in the discovery of suspected narcotics, according to a police report.

Jorden A. Dill, 20, of Jonesboro, was arrested by Grambling Police about 10:30 p.m. on May 27.

According to the report, an officer saw a gray sedan fail to stop at a stop sign, prompting a traffic stop. The report states officers made contact with the driver and smelled the strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.

During a search of the vehicle, officers located a bottle of promethazine hydrochloride, a prescription bottle with the label scraped off containing a green liquid, and a small bag of about 4.1 grams of suspected marijuana.

Dill, a passenger in the vehicle, said the items in a backpack belonged to him. The driver was released.

Dill was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of a legend drug and possession of marijuana.
