Three men and a woman were arrested at a Ruston bar following a fight early Sunday morning.
Landry Freeman, 18; John Burnham, 46; and Ella Burnham, 19, all of Ferriday; and Jon Hebert, 41, of Eunice, were arrested at about 2 a.m. on December 14 by Ruston Police at a Park Avenue bar.
An officer working a special detail at the location was informed of a fight inside the bar. Once the parties were separated, the officer noticed Hebert had a large bump over his right eye.
An investigation showed two of the men had been engaged in an arm wrestling match. The loser reportedly punched the other in the face. Others jumped into the altercation. Officers used video from the bar to determine who threw punches.
The video showed Ella Burnham stomping on one of the men who had fallen to the floor, according to an officer’s report.
During the investigation, Freeman allegedly used his arm to forcibly strike an officer in the groin.
E. Burnham, J. Burnham, and Hebert were arrested for disturbing the peace by fighting. Freeman, who officers wrote was extremely intoxicated, was charged with battery of a police officer and disturbing the peace by appearing intoxicated in public.
