Grambling Police arrested a Ruston man last Tuesday after a reported domestic incident.
Ronald C. Penn, III, 26, was arrested for domestic abuse battery after officers investigated a report of an assault on a woman.
Police were dispatched to a Nutmeg Drive residence in Grambling where a woman told them she was sitting in a vehicle with her with Penn, her boyfriend, when a verbal argument ensued. During the argument, Penn allegedly punched the woman in the face violently, also grabbing her left arm and forcing her to exit the vehicle.
Police saw discoloration on the woman’s forehead and left shoulder and a laceration on her ankle.
Penn told officers he was retrieving his belongings from the woman’s residence and saw police arrive.
Penn’s bail amount was not available.
