Ruston Police arrested a man last week after he allegedly held a woman against her will in an apparent domestic altercation.
George Guidry, 46, of Ruston, was arrested after the victim reported he forced his way into her Sanders Street residence and refused to let her leave.
When an officer responded, he found Guidry and the victim standing next to a vehicle in the driveway. Guidry immediately said everything was fine. However, the victim, who was out of sight of Guidry, shook her head no. When the officer asked if a verbal altercation had occurred, Guidry said no, but the woman nodded her head yes.
When another officer arrived, the two were separated. The female said Guidry forced his way into her residence by using a screwdriver to pry open a bedroom window. She said the last time Guidry was at her residence, he battered her, and she was afraid for her safety. She attempted to leave the residence, but Guidry had parked his vehicle behind her and refused to move it.
Guidry was arrested but resisted handcuffing, and it took both officers to place him into custody. He was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for home invasion, false imprisonment, and resisting an officer.
Bell was set at $65,000.
