A man and a woman were arrested in Ruston last week after a rendezvous for sex turned violent.
Amaria Ranelle Kiner, 25, of Ruston, and Marco Hernandez, 29, of Choudrant, were arrested October 16 after a report of a disturbance in the parking lot of a local motel.
Police responded to the report at about 7 p.m. to find Hernandez dressed only in a ripped shirt and underwear. He said he did not know the woman’s name who attacked him, but they had met online. He said the woman told him to bring money and they would have a good time.
Witnesses said they saw Kiner and Hernandez in a physical altercation in the parking lot. Hernandez was calling for help, and Kiner was grabbing at him, according to witnesses.
The woman was found in a motel room. She said Hernandez had failed to pay her for sex.
Hernandez was taken into the Northern Louisiana Medical Center for treatment of injuries.
Kiner was booked for simple battery and her third offense of prostitution in Louisiana with her criminal history also showing previous arrests in other states, according to an officer’s report.
Hernandez was booked for soliciting for prostitutes after release from the emergency room.
