A Ruston man was arrested Thursday after he allegedly kidnapped his girlfriend and held her against her will while armed with several guns.
Parker Maks, 20, was booked for simple kidnapping, false imprisonment, and other charges Oct. 23 after Ruston Police investigated the incident.
At about 6:40 a.m. officers responded to an apartment complex on West California Avenue to investigate a report of a previous domestic disturbance. They interviewed the victim who said she and her boyfriend, Maks, had been involved in an argument earlier that morning. According to the victim, during the dispute, Maks forced her into a vehicle where multiple firearms were present and drove her to an unfamiliar location.
Fearing for her safety, the victim was able to contact an acquaintance of Maks by phone who convinced him to return to Ruston with the victim.
Once back in Ruston, the victim reported she attempted to leave after Maks fell asleep, but he woke up and physically blocked her from leaving the residence. After several attempts, Maks eventually allowed her to leave. A short time later, Maks reportedly tried to force entry into the victim’s apartment but was unable to gain access due to a door security device.
Following an investigation, Maks was arrested and booked into the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for simple kidnapping, false imprisonment while armed with a dangerous weapon, unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling, and entry into premises after being forbidden.
