A Ruston man was arrested Friday after he allegedly trespassed at a house on Love Avenue and committed a burglary.
Ruston Police were sent to the home regarding a complaint of someone in the backyard. A suspect matching the description was spotted nearby at the EZ Mart on South Vienna Street. Carlos Jenkins, 49, admitted being at the residence going through items because he thought it was abandoned.
The victim identified Jenkins as the suspect who was then arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for simple burglary, criminal trespass and possession of drug paraphernalia.
