A Ruston woman was arrested last week after police responded to a report of an unwanted person at a Grambling residence.
Lametria L. Owens, 24, was arrested early on the morning of July 11 after an officer found her behind an apartment, screaming and beating on a window with bloody hands.
The officer attempted to calm Owens down and took her into custody. As officers attempted to place her in a patrol car, she attempted to pull away.
Police had responded to the location several hours earlier regarding a complaint and gave Owens a ride away from the scene and told her not to return.
The occupant of the apartment said Owens came to his window yelling for him to come outside or to let her in. He said Owens became upset when she was escorted off the property earlier in the day. He yelled at her to leave and she refused and began to beat on the window even harder. When he heard the glass in the window break, he called 911.
Owens was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for simple criminal damage to property, remaining on premises after being forbidden, and resisting an officer.
