A Monroe man was arrested early Friday morning after he and a juvenile attempted to enter the fence surrounding Good Day Farm of Franke Drive.
Ruston Police officers responded to the facility regarding a report of gunshots. A security guard at Good Day Farm, Louisiana’s largest cannabis (marijuana) grower, reported the two young males were attempting to enter the fenced property.
RPD officers located two males walking near the facility. The individuals were detained while camera footage was reviewed showing the two near the fence with flashlights. A backpack was recovered nearby containing a stolen 9mm pistol. After being advised of his rights, Da’Shon Brewster, 18, of Monroe, admitted the firearm belonged to him and he hid the bag after seeing responding police vehicles. Brewster also admitted firing the pistol into the air prior to officers’ arrival.
Brewster was transported to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked for possession of a stolen firearm and criminal trespass. He remains in custody in lieu of $10,750 bail.
