Rock throwing leads to arrest

On Monday, deputies of the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Department were dispatched to a Tarbutton Road residence regarding a disturbance. The caller, who identified herself as Loretta Gonzalez, said she had been battered by Israel Álvarez. 

Álvarez told deputies he had not been in contact with Gonzalez and that she was the person who had been damaging his property in an apparent ongoing dispute. 

Deputies had been sent to the location three times over the weekend regarding property damage. On April 22, Alverez called the sheriff’s office to report a rock been thrown through his living room window. He identified the suspect as Ana Gonzalez.

On April 23, Alverez reported Gonzalez came to his residence and threatened his wife and children. On April 25, Alverez called again to report Gonzalez was back at his residence attempting to pull the back door open.

The person who identified herself as Lorretta Gonzalez was found to be the Ana Gonzalez in question. Based on evidence at the same and statements from witnesses, Gonzalez was arrested for two counts of simple criminal damage to property and resisting an officer by providing false information. 

Gonzalez was booked at the Lincoln Parish detention Center and bail was set at $5,500.
