Ruston Police arrested a local woman last Wednesday after stopping her for speeding and determining she was wanted on several warrants.
Dasha M. Burks, 28, of Ruston, was stopped for speeding 50 in a 35 mile per hour zone on West California Avenue about 5 p.m. Aug. 28. A records check revealed three warrants for her arrest for failure to appear in Ruston City Court.
While arranging for someone to assist her with her children, Burks allegedly began talking loudly and using profanity. She refused to stop when she was directed to lower her voice.
Burks was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for speeding, disturbing the peace, and the warrants for failure to appear on speeding, no insurance, and no driver’s license charges.
Bail was set at $6,000.
