The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a Ruston man Saturday night after he fled deputies investigating a disturbance.
Deputies responded to a Water Tank Road residence about 1:30 p.m. Saturday regarding a highly intoxicated man causing a disturbance. When deputies arrived, they were told Marlon T. Harris, 30, was inside. Harris came outside and said, “I’m gone” and fled on foot. Deputies pursued him and after a short distance, Harris tripped, and deputies took him into custody.
Deputies detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverage on Harris. When they attempted to place him in a patrol car, he refused to cooperate and had to be physically placed inside by deputies.
Harris was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by appearing intoxicated in public. Bail was set at $10,000.
