Ruston Police took two individuals into custody Sunday afternoon after they and another youth allegedly approached a woman demanding the kids in her house come outside and fight. One of the three males had a gun.
Officers responded to an East California Avenue address where the woman said she told the three who appeared to be juveniles to get off her property. She said the two younger boys ran away but the one with the gun refused to leave. The armed youth had left before officers arrived.
In searching the area, two individuals matching the woman’s descriptions were located on Mills Avenue. Both refused to identify themselves and were taken into custody. At the police station, one identified himself as a 13-year-old. Devin Lewis, 17, of Ruston, admitted to being at the East California residence earlier with the juvenile.
Lewis was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for trespassing, resisting an officer, and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.
