Disturbance leads to Ruston man’s arrest

A Ruston man was arrested last week after police responded to a report of a disturbance at a residence.

DeUndre Davis, 32, was arrested for disturbing the peace after Ruston officers responded to Clinton Circle and found him aggressively chasing a woman around her vehicle.


Davis was found screaming at a woman about his cigarettes and then chased her. When an officer stepped in front of a Davis and ordered him to stop, he refused to comply. He began punching the car door and aggressively approaching the woman. His yelling woke up the woman’s children, who came outside the apartment.

Officers detected the overwhelming odor of alcoholic beverages on Davis and found his speech was slurred. The woman said Davis had a history of acting in this manner after drinking excessively. He was arrested for disturbing the peace by appearing intoxicated in public and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
