FERRIDAY — A suspiciously parked vehicle led to the arrest of a Monroe man in Ferriday.

Manuel L. Seals, 46, was arrested on charges of felony possession of stolen property after a Concordia Parish Sheriff’s deputy spotted a 2005 Dodge Magnum parked behind a Fudickar Street residence in a way that suggested it was being hidden, according to a news release from the CPSO.

Seals was arrested after the deputy checked the Louisiana Justice Network and the National Crime Information Center and discovered the vehicle had been reported stolen.
