LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - A Jennings man was arrested on Friday after deputies responded to a call of two people passed out in a running car in the parking lot.

Deputies were called to the Country Mile store on Hwy 102 around 7 p.m. on Friday. When deputies approached the vehicle, they observed a small bag of marijuana sitting in the cup holder of the vehicle between the two occupants, according to the Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office.
