An Arlington, Texas, man was arrested Tuesday in Iowa, La., for human trafficking after being pulled over for a traffic stop on Interstate 10.

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kayla Vincent said a detective with the Combined Anti-Drug Task Force was conducting criminal patrol when he conducted a traffic stop at 9 a.m. on Interstate 10 near mile marker 42 in Iowa.

Vincent said when the deputy made contact with the driver — Kevin D. Ricks, 27 — he was unable to answer simple questions and showed signs of nervousness.

“Upon further investigation it was discovered the passenger in the vehicle was being trafficked by Ricks for sexual purposes,” Vincent said.

Ricks was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center and charged with human trafficking. He also had a warrant for probation violation out of Texas.

Judge Tony Fazzio set his bond at $750,000.

Sgt. Rodney Daigle, Jr. is the arresting deputy on this case.  Special Victims Unit Detective Kara Adams is the lead investigator on this case.
