A man wanted on warrants for failure to appear in court on numerous charges was arrested last week after he fled a traffic stop on foot.
Jonathan Millage, 51, of Lincoln Parish, was a passenger in a vehicle stopped for a traffic violation by Ruston Police last Thursday morning. As the vehicle came to a stop, Millage left the vehicle and fled on foot.
Additional officers arrived and intercepted Millage on East Line Avenue. Millage refused to comply with orders and had to be physically restrained. During the struggle, Millage actively resisted and a Taser had to be used to take him into custody.
Millage was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center on warrants for failure to appear in Ruston City Court for theft by shoplifting, failure to register a vehicle, driving under suspension, and switched license plate. He was also charged with two counts of resisting an officer and unspecified charges from Winn Parish.
Bail on the Ruston charges was sent at $9,000.
