Wigs were the item of choice for an alleged shoplifter arrested by Ruston Police Monday evening.
Officers were called to Hair City at 401 South Vienna about 5:40 p.m. Monday regarding a theft complaint. The store owner said a man took wigs and left the store. The owner pointed out the suspect’s cousin who was still in the building.
The cousin identified the suspect as Jaqualon L. Dunaway, 24, of Ruston. He was contacted by phone and returned to the store with the merchandise.
A records check indicated Dunaway was wanted on two bench warrants for failure to appear in Ruston City Court on charges of bank fraud and illegal transmission of monetary funds.
Dunaway was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for misdemeanor theft by shoplifting and the two failure to appear warrants. The merchandise was returned to the store owner.
Bail was set at $20,000.
