A man allegedly trespassing on the Louisiana Tech University campus was arrested early last Tuesday morning after he was spotted by a police officer.
And about 2 a.m., a Louisiana Tech police officer saw a man riding a bicycle near Davison Hall and recognized him as Carlos Jenkins, 48, of Ruston. Jenkins had been banned from the campus since 2015 because of previous incidents. He was also spotted by the department’s dispatcher through video surveillance.
Jenkins was stopped and placed under arrest for criminal trespass. A search revealed a glass smoking pipe Jenkins claimed was his “crack pipe.” He was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for trespassing and possession of drug paraphernalia.
