A man was arrested at a Ruston store last week after he exposed himself to an employee while in a highly intoxicated state.
Jacob Bellott, 35, of Ruston, was arrested November 26 on numerous charges after Ruston Police responded to a call of an intoxicated man cursing other customers at a store on the North I-20 Service Road.
Police located Bellott in the parking lot and found him to be so intoxicated he was having difficulty standing up and speaking coherently.
Records show Bellott had been barred from the property in 2019. As officers were speaking to him, he became belligerent and exposed himself to a female store employee.
He was immediately arrested, and when officers attempted to place him in a patrol vehicle, he spit on two officers. He then began beating his head on the patrol vehicle door.
Bellott was placed in an ambulance to be taken to the Northern Northern Louisiana Medical Center for treatment for a cut he sustained on his head from banging on the door. Bellott spit on an officer in the ambulance, and then again on several nurses and medical personnel at the hospital.
Once Bellott was released from the hospital, he was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for obscenity, trespassing, disturbing the peace by appearing intoxicated in public, and three counts of battery on a police officer.
