A man and woman were arrested Monday morning after police responded to a call of a protective order violation on Kennon Lane.
Ruston officers responded to the home of Jennifer Lowery, 41, regarding a person violating a protective order. When Ruston officers knocked on the front door, Taylor M. Williams, 35, left through the rear door and was arrested for violating a protective order prohibiting him from having any contact with the resident.
Lowery was not in the home at the time of the arrest, but Williams admitted being outside when Lowery was present. He allegedly entered after Lowery left the residence.
When Lowery returned to the location, she was also arrested on a warrant for failure to appear in Ruston City Court on a theft charge. Both were booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
Bail for Williams was set at $2,500.
