A Ruston man was arrested for possessing stolen property after a theft victim saw the man with his bicycle on South Farmerville Street Sunday.
David Albritton, 58, was arrested for possession of stolen property Oct. 6 after the victim reported his bicycle has been stolen and he saw a man with it.
After the victim’s report, officers spotted the man matching the victim’s description on Farmerville Street at Mississippi Avenue. Albritton told officers he had placed the bicycle at the car wash on Farmerville Street. A records check showed Albritton was wanted for failure to appear in Ruston City Court on a charge of remaining on premises after being forbidden stemming from an arrest earlier this year.
Albritton was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for illegal possession of stolen property and the failure to appear warrant.
Bail was set at $4,000.
