A Ruston man was arrested for attempted burglary of a vehicle just after midnight last Friday morning.
Keyzarious Jones, 19, was arrested several blocks away from the scene of an attempted burglary of a vehicle on Carey Avenue.
The victim calling police said two men, one wearing a gray hoodie and one wearing a yellow hoodie, attempted to enter his vehicle. When he locked the doors on the vehicle remotely, the men fled.
Officers checking the area located two men, one in a gray hoodie and one in a gold hoodie, at the intersection of Line Avenue and Arlington Street, about three blocks from Carey Avenue about 10 minutes after the call. When officers attempted to talk to the men, the one in the yellow hoodie fled on foot.
The other man, Jones, said he was just walking home from the store and did not know the other man’s full name.
Jones was found to have an extensive history of burglary offenses. He was taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked for attempted simple burglary of a vehicle.
Bail was set at $5,000. Later in the day, Jones was also booked for probation violation.
