A man who allegedly caused a disturbance at a Ruston convenience store was arrested on several charges after he returned to the store while officers were investigating.
Ontario D. Spivey, 35, of Ruston, was arrested March 4 after officers talked to the manager of the Maple Mart about the incident.
The store manager said a man came into the store harassing one of the employees by yelling and cursing. The man was told to leave, but he instead became aggressive and started throwing items in the store.
Officers saw items thrown about the store, including a number of items that were damaged and could no longer be sold.
Spivey returned to the store while officers were present and appeared to be intoxicated. He said he had been in the store previously, but denied causing a disturbance. During a search at the time of his arrest, a bottle of whiskey was found in Spivey‘s clothing.
Spivey was arrested for disturbing the peace, simple criminal damage to property, and criminal mischief and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center. His bail was set in $2,000.
