A Ruston man was arrested early Sunday morning after police responded to a report of a man screaming in front of the caller’s residence.
As officers were responding to the scene just after midnight, the caller said the man had run into the carport of a residence on Valley Drive and was trying to fight another man.
Addison Cade McConathy, 20, was found to be sweating profusely and emitting a strong order odor of alcoholic beverage. He refused to give his name or identification. The man eventually gave his name as Addison McConathy, but refused to provide a date of birth. When asked how to spell his name, McConathy refused and told the officer he was rich and he was going to have him fired and would sue the Ruston Police Department. McConathy was taken into custody and placed in a patrol car.
During an interview, the caller said McConathy entered his property without permission and appeared to fight with the unknown man. A neighbor on Ridge Drive said McConathy came onto his property without permission and kicked his truck, damaging the front passenger side quarter panel.
McConathy was taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked for disturbing the peace by being intoxicated in public, two counts of criminal trespass, resisting an officer by failure to provide identification, and simple criminal damage to property. His bail amount was not available at publication time.
