A Ruston woman allegedly gave a fake name to deputies last Friday in an apparent attempt to avoid arrest on several warrants.
Kimberly Laskey, 32, was arrested after Lincoln Parish deputies responded to a medical call on Tarbutton Road Friday afternoon.
Deputies encountered Laskey on the scene of the medical emergency, but she gave her name as Kimberly Headrick. Warrants were found for Laskey with the same date of birth with a photo matching the woman. The woman said her identification showing the name Headrick was either in her boyfriend’s truck or with her boyfriend who had been taken to the hospital.
Laskey eventually admitted her name and was arrested on warrants for failure to appear in Ruston City Court on a criminal trespass charge and failure to appear in Third District Court for possession of a Schedule II controlled substance. She was booked for resisting an officer by false information and the two warrants.
Bail was set at $10,500.
