A Ruston man was arrested for stalking on August 9 after a complaint from a local woman.
Ruston Police responded to the woman’s residence where she reported Adrian Jackson, 57, had been sending her text messages nonstop for over 12 hours. The messages demanded she open the door for him and used a number of profanities. The victim said she never responded to any of the text messages.
When the victim heard a knock at her door and could hear Jackson telling her to open the door, she called police because he had been banned from the apartment complex. She stated she felt threatened by Jackson because she had asked him several times to leave her alone.
Jackson was found walking nearby and was detained. He said he had not been at the victim’s residence.
Police were able to examine the text messages allegedly sent by Jackson. He was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for stalking and criminal trespass.
