Ruston Police arrested a local man last Sunday after he allegedly injured his girlfriend in an altercation.
Marquize Jackson, 22, was arrested for domestic abuse battery on Nov. 17.
Officers responded to a West Mississippi Avenue apartment where the victim said Jackson had hit her. A laceration was found on the woman’s right hand. She said she accused Jackson of infidelity and he chased her around her vehicle and prevented her from entering the car.
The woman said Jackson hit her and in a struggle held her down so she could not get away.
Jackson had left the scene before officers arrived and the victim was transported to the Northern Louisiana Medical Center for treatment.
Grambling Police found Jackson at a residence in Grambling. He was taken into custody by RPD and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
