A Ruston man was arrested after police investigated a recent domestic incident.
Kedric Robinson, 34, was arrested June 20 after Ruston officers responded to a Kavanaugh Road residence regarding a domestic disturbance called in by an uninvolved party. The caller said the suspect was beating the victim at that time.
Responding officers found Robinson outside screaming at two other people. Robinson’s shirt was ripped and stained with blood. He was taken into custody while officers talked with an obviously distraught woman. The woman said Robinson was drunk and became extremely combative. She said he became so angry that he damaged her TV and broke other items in the residence. He then hit her in the head multiple times, she said. The woman said she was able to get away, but Robinson grabbed her by the hair and dragged her around the residence.
The woman said her little brother was able to stop Robinson, but then they began to fight. The brother and his wife were interviewed as witnesses. Police learned two 4-year-old children were in the house at the time of the incident.
Ruston Ambulance Service came to the scene and rendered aid to the woman. EMTs told police the woman had a large bump on her head. Officers also saw dirt marks on the back of her shirt from being dragged on the ground.
Robinson would not tell officers what happened other than he was outnumbered. He was taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked for domestic abuse battery with child endangerment and disturbing the peace.
