A woman who entered an occupied Grambling apartment and went to sleep on a couch has been arrested for unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling.
Ashlei Nicole Barnes, 29, of Ruston, was arrested by Grambling Police June 11 after a man woke to find her asleep on his couch.
The man called 911 to report a noise woke him up and he walked into the hallway to find Barnes lying on his couch. He told police he did not know Barnes and ran outside and called 911.
When questioned, Barnes said she entered the apartment through a front window. She said she did not know whose apartment she was in, but she was tired and was trying to get some sleep.
Barnes was arrested just two weeks earlier after Ruston Police received multiple calls of a woman with a firearm causing a disturbance on Clinton Circle.
