Loss prevention had detained an individual after seeing the person place items on his person and leaving the store. When the officer arrived and took the suspect into custody, two warrants for Probation Revocation and two city traffic court warrants were found outstanding during the investigation. Jason Mark Draper, 40 of Paris, was also charged with possession of a controlled substance after finding drugs on his person.
