A Texas man was arrested Thursday evening after DeSoto Parish deputies allegedly discovered more than six ounces of suspected methamphetamine during a traffic stop in Logansport.

According to the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office, members of the Street Level Interdiction Unit (SLIU) conducted the traffic stop on May 14 along U.S. Highway 84.

Deputies identified the driver as 34-year-old Daniel Guin of Shelby County, Texas.

During the stop, DPSO K-9 Cholo conducted a free-air sniff around the vehicle and reportedly gave a positive alert indicating the possible presence of narcotics.

Authorities then conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle, where deputies said they located approximately 6.3 ounces of suspected methamphetamine, various items of drug paraphernalia, and a firearm.

Guin was taken into custody without incident and transported to the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office Detention Center for booking.

He faces the following charges:

Possession of Schedule II narcotics (methamphetamine) with intent to distribute

Possession of a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance

Possession of drug paraphernalia

Improper lane usage

The sheriff’s office also shared comments from a Logansport resident who witnessed part of the incident and praised deputies for their response.

“Shout out to the DPSO Team,” the resident wrote. “Traveling down Hwy 5 yesterday and a dark car passed me and three other cars, flying, in a no passing zone. I was hoping all the way to Logansport that a State Trooper or a Deputy would catch him.”

The witness added that multiple deputies had stopped the vehicle near the Family Dollar store in Logansport.

“Thank you DPSO for keeping us safe,” the resident stated.

The DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office noted that an arrest indicates probable cause existed during the investigation and that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law..
