Man drinking, cursing in store arrested

Ruston Police arrested a Bogalusa man Aug. 30 after he had allegedly caused a disturbance in the Walmart Supercenter.

Joshua R. Robinson, 43, was arrested for disturbing the peace by public intoxication and profane language and entering and remaining on premises after being forbidden.

Officers found Robinson in the store and detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverages. Store management said Robinson was told to leave after he was found drinking alcohol in the store. He then attempted to fight an employee who attempted to force him to leave.


Once arrested and placed in a patrol car, Robinson began kicking the rear passenger door.

Once he was medically cleared by Ruston Fire personnel, he was taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked.
