What started out as a basic disturbance call, ended up with one man being arrested on drug charges.

According to reports, an officer with the Lafayette Police Department was dispatched to the location off West Main, where he met the complainant who told him he'd been woken up by the sound of someone beating at his door.

The man said he looked out the window and saw three people, two males and one female in a dark color Nissan Pathfinder, as they drove away.

The report indicated that the complainant, seemed reluctant to answer any questions about the identity of the individuals

The officer soon spotted the vehicle and pulled the driver over; at that point he detected an odor of marijuana and he also noticed the butt of a rifle sticking out between the driver and passenger seats.

The driver, identified as Denver King, claimed possession of the weapon, an AK-47, and told the officer the gun was not loaded; the officer then removed that rifle from the vehicle and checked to make sure it wasn't loaded; he then called for backup.

24 year old Nickolas Jackson was asked to exit the vehicle and a search of his person turned up a pill bottle containing clear, plastic baggies in addition to two knives. 

A search of the vehicle soon led to the discovery of a loaded AK-47 clip, and one stray bullet found in the floorboard.  A set of digital scales was also found.  Inside the scales, the officers found meth which was claimed by Jackson; additionally pills were found both in the vehicle and in Jackson's pockets.

The rifle was returned to King while Jackson was arrested on charges of Possession of Meth Possession with the Intent to Distribute and Possession of a Schedule IV Drug.

The man who made the initial call to police identified Jackson and said Jackson and another man had been at his home previously, demanding money.
