Loud party prompts arrest

Ruston Police arrested a local woman early Saturday morning after repeated calls to a loud party on Alpine Avenue.

Police responded to a large block party where they remained on the scene for about two hours attempting to clear the area. At about 3 a.m., a caller reported the party was still underway. Officers returned and found a sound system which could easily be heard from a distance greater than 30 feet in violation of Ruston city ordinances.


Laquittia L. Lynn, 40, identified the sound system as hers and used her phone to turn the music off. When she refused to sign a citation for disturbing the peace, she was placed under arrest and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
