The Rapides Area Drug Enforcement (RADE) Unit said complaints started in early February regarding a Boyce man engaged in drug activity in the Cotile Lake Community.

Justin Glenn Bennett, 32, was named as the suspect. RADE said agents were already familiar with Bennett because of prior drug arrests. In the course of their investigation, RADE agents learned that Bennett had active outstanding warrants for his arrest for contempt of court related to prior narcotics-related arrests.

Bennett was arrested without incident on Feb. 12 and transported to the Rapides Parish Detention Center. He was charged with Contempt of Court – Possession of CDS II, Contempt of Court – Felony Theft, and Contempt of Court – Criminal Conspiracy. His bond was set at $350,000.
