A 32-year-old California man was arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace after he returned to a Ruston residence after being barred from doing so.
Ruston Police responded to a Paul Avenue residence regarding the tenant wanting Willie J. George, III, of Newhall, Calif., to leave. Officers told George that he was being banned from the property by the tenant and he had to leave. George was informed that if he returned to the residence, he would be arrested.
At about 10 p.m., the tenant called RPD again to report George had returned to the property. Officers found George standing at the front door. When asked why he had returned after he had been told to leave, George said he was waiting on a ride. Officers noticed George’s words were slurred and he was unsteady on his feet and appeared to be intoxicated.
The tenant told police George returned and had been banging on her door, yelling for her to come outside. George was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for disturbing the peace by appearing intoxicated in public and entering and remaining on premises after being forbidden (trespassing).
