A Ruston woman was arrested last week after she allegedly damaged property and then resisted and threatened officers who arrested her.
Crystal M. Jones, 27, was arrested about 11 p.m. Oct. 19 after officers investigated a complaint of property damage at a South Vienna Street residence.
The victim said Jones had kicked in one of the doors and caused a floor tile to be to become unattached. Officers found Jones to be belligerent and became irate when an officer attempted to speak to her.
A records check showed that a warrant was held by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Department for Jones for failure to appear in Third Judicial District Court. Officers had to wrestle with Jones to keep her from kicking them and used force to secure her in handcuffs.
As she was being taken to a patrol car, Jones allegedly threatened to kill two officers and later told the transporting officer, “I’m going to kill your wife and children, believe me I am.”
Jones was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for simple criminal damage to property, resisting an officer, three counts of public intimidation, and the warrant.
Bail for the charges from the arrest was set at $7,000.
