A Ruston man was arrested last Saturday after he allegedly gave a Lincoln Parish deputy a false name during an investigation.
Donterrion Garrez McMurry, 24, was arrested for resisting an officer by providing false information on August 24.
Deputies had responded to a location on La. Highway 818 regarding a trespassing complaint. The property owner said no one had permission to be on the property. Three men fishing in a pond were questioned. Two gave names that were verified.
McMurry initially gave the name “Don Ferg” which could not be verified through local or state databases. He eventually gave his correct name and was arrested.
Bail was set at $1,000.
