Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents arrested a Castor man for alleged drug violations on Sept. 24 in Bienville Parish.
Agents arrested Christopher Lee, 43, for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia and fishing without a basic fishing license.
Agents were on patrol on the Loggy Bayou Wildlife Management Area (WMA) when they spotted Lee. During questioning, agents found that Lee had been fishing and tried to hide his fishing pole in the woods as the agents approached him. Agents found the fishing pole and a meth pipe next to the pole.
