Ruston Police arrested a local man early Sunday morning after he ran from officers investigating a disturbance at the Gray Creek Apartments.
Police responded to the apartment complex on South Barnett Springs Street about 3 a.m. Sunday. An apartment manager said a man was making a loud disturbance in the parking lot and refused requests to keep the noise down.
When officers attempted to talk to Marlon Harris, 31, of Ruston, he fled on foot. Harris was apprehended on Fletcher Lane but fought efforts to take him into custody. A Taser was used to overcome his resistance.
Harris was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for disturbing the peace and two counts of resisting an officer. Bail was set at $2,000.
