A Ruston man was arrested Tuesday evening after he allegedly struck a woman and damaged another woman’s TV and took her car without permission.
Lincoln Parish deputies responded to a Donna Lane residence where a woman said she and her boyfriend, Larry T. Gray, Jr., 22, got into an argument in which he pushed her. Her small children were present at the time.
The woman said her sister arrived at the residence and Gray smashed the sister’s television and then took the sister’s car and left the residence.
Deputies located the car at the Shoppers Value store in Ruston. Gray could not be located at that time.
Gray was located later in the day on U.S. 167 at D’arbonne Bottom Road. He was placed under arrest and taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center where he was booked for domestic abuse battery with child endangerment, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and simple criminal damage to property. His bail was set at $2,500.
