A Ruston woman was arrested after initially giving a false name to police but was later positively identified and arrested on numerous warrants.
Ruston Police were conducting an investigation of a disturbance in the 1100 block of Woodward Avenue on May 6. One of the involved parties appeared overly nervous and attempted to leave several times.
After initially giving a false name and incorrect date of birth, the woman was eventually identified as Dasha Burks, 29. Police determined she was wanted on seven arrest warrants for failure to appear in Ruston City Court.
Burks was arrested for resisting an officer by giving false identity and the seven warrants for driving under suspension, two counts of speeding, no driver’s license, no liability insurance, disturbing the peace, and failure to yield. She was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
