A Ruston man has been booked for a simple burglary after he allegedly burglarized a Louisiana Tech campus building.
Domonique A. Davis, 39, was arrested on several charges after the reported burglary of the international student office in Tolliver Hall on the Tech campus.
Tech Police investigated a report of items taken from the office on August 25. Surveillance video showed Davis entering the office even though he was not authorized to do so and had been banned from the entire Louisiana Tech campus because of previous incidents.
The video reportedly showed Davis rummaging through cabinets and helping himself to coffee supplies provided for international students. He also entered a dry good storage area operated by Aramark, the food service provider for the campus.
On August 26, Davis was spotted by a Tech officer in front of the student center. He was placed under arrest. Davis said he had a smoking pipe in his backpack. The pipe was retrieved and appeared to have a drug residue in it. The backpack also contained two bags of Starbucks brand coffee consistent with that sold by Aramark.
Davis was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for a simple burglary, entering and remaining on premises after being forbidden, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
