A Ruston man accused of shoplifting was arrested on five outstanding warrants Sunday evening.
Ruston police responded to the Walmart Super center on the North I-20 Service Road about 5:45 p.m. Sunday. An asset protection officer from Walmart reported Hazan D. Retana, 24, allegedly shoplifted items valued $177.
Retana reportedly had been banned previously from the store. A records check showed Retana was wanted on five warrants for failure to appear in Third District Court.
Retana was taken into custody and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for theft by shoplifting, trespassing by entering premises after being forbidden, and the five arrest warrants. Bail on the theft and trespassing charges was set at $2,000.
