A Ruston man was arrested after he allegedly assaulted the victim in the presence of police officers who had accompanied her to the residence to retrieve some property.
The victim and the man, D’nihan McGee, 20, had previously lived together but the woman had moved out. Ruston Police officers responded to the Beacon Light Road residence to stand by while she retrieved some property from the home. McGee came outside and acted aggressively toward the victim. Once the victim came out with her clothing, McGee reportedly grabbed the items. An officer told him to release the clothes and McGee instead grabbed the victim by the hair and pulled her toward him. Officers restrained McGee who resisted. He was handcuffed but refused to get in the patrol car and had to be forced inside.
McGee was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for battery of a dating partner and resisting an officer by force. The arrest affidavit for the charges indicated McGee had allegedly committed a battery on the same victim about a month ago.
