Grambling Police arrested a New Orleans man Sunday after he allegedly resisted an officer investigating a shoplifting case.
Rogers Chevron Mini Mart reported a theft in progress Sunday afternoon. The responding officer was given a description of the suspect who had taken multiple items without paying.
The officer found a man matching the description sitting at a car wash next door to the store. The suspect refused to comply with the officer’s directive. When the man was told he was under arrest and to place his hands behind his back, he refused and advanced on the officer while cursing. When he refused to stop his advance, the officer deployed a TASER electric control device and was taken into custody.
The Grambling Fire Department responded and cleared the suspect, Jamaine E. Morman, 28, to be transported to the detention center.
The suspect later admitted he was a little intoxicated when he stolen the items and that caused him to refuse to comply with the officer’s instructions.
Morman was booked for theft and resisting an officer.
