A Ruston Police officer arrested a local man while out on his lunch break Wednesday.
Jamarius O. Williams, 34, was taken into custody in the cafeteria at the North Louisiana Medical Center after the officer recognized him and knew he was barred from the property.
The officer wrote in his report he was having lunch at the hospital cafeteria when he saw Williams walk in. He knew Williams had been barred from the hospital with the exception of seeking medical treatment. The officer confirmed the ban with the police station, learning it had been in effect since June 2023.
While Williams was escorted out of the cafeteria, he began yelling profanities, disturbing the numerous employees and guests in the room.
Williams was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for criminal trespass and disturbing the peace.
