A traffic stop in south Caddo Parish this past weekend landed two people in jail after the discovery of drugs and guns in their vehicle, said Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator.

Sheriff’s Deputy Allan Wilson was on patrol Saturday night when he stopped an SUV for improper tags in the 600 block of Barron Road. Further investigation determined the driver, 30-year-old Eric Cox of Keithville, had an outstanding warrant and did not have proper registration or proof of insurance for his vehicle.

While impounding Cox’s vehicle, Wilson and Deputy Matthew Henry found 59.6 grams of methamphetamines, nine grams of THC Wax, two loaded syringes, pipes used to smoke narcotics, and two loaded handguns.

Cox and his passenger, Katherine Murray, 30, of Doyline, were both booked into Caddo Correctional Center for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamines, possession with intent to distribute schedule I, illegal carrying of weapons with a controlled dangerous substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Cox also faces charges for no insurance and no registration.
