A traffic stop in the parking lot of Caddo Street Grill on Friday led to the arrest of one man on a charge of possession of marijuana.

Fire calls

A resident quelled a small grass fire in the 1400 block of Old Bridge Road on Sunday before firefighters arrived.

Firefighters advised the man to haul the fence planks away.
