An Arcadia woman arrested on numerous warrants Friday was additionally charged with threatening to kill a Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office employee Sunday.
Ruston Police arrested Amy Lykins, 41, Friday evening on six warrants charging her with failure to appear in Ruston City Court. She was incarcerated at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
On Sunday morning, Lykins was directed to get up and make her bed to prepare for inspection of the female housing area. Lykins was told she would be placed on restriction if she failed to do so. Lykins allegedly replied with profanities directed at the detention center staffer.
Lykins continued to fail to comply with the staffer’s directives. According to a deputy’s report, Lykins said, “When I get out of here, I’m going to shoot you.”
Lykins was informed she was also being charged with public intimidation. Her bail is set at $45,000.
