Disturbance prompts arrest at convenience store

A Ruston man was arrested at the QuikTrip convenience store on the South Service Road in Ruston last week.

Jamarius Williams, 34, reportedly caused a disturbance, knocking over a display stand and throwing a cup of coffee.

When officers approached Williams, he admitted he was banned from the property. After his arrest, he told officers he had some “mojo” in his pants pocket. An envelope of suspected marijuana was recovered.


Williams was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for a possession of marijuana, disturbing the peace, and remaining on premises after being forbidden.
