Ruston woman arrested after argument with roommate

Ruston Police arrested a local woman Monday after she was involved in an altercation with a roommate and allegedly threatened the victim with kitchen knives and threw objects which caused injuries.

Alexzandria Floyd, 25, of Ruston, was arrested February 23 for aggravated assault and aggravated battery following an investigation at a Kennon Lane apartment.

Floyd told officers she had an argument with a roommate over a kitchen light being left on. She said she pulled out two kitchen knives and told the roommate not to get closer to her.


When interviewed, the alleged victim said Floyd threw a doorbell chime at her, striking her in the head. The victim provided video of the argument before Floyd yelled, “Last time I checked it was illegal to record someone in Louisiana,” and then knocked the phone out of the victim’s hand and took it away.

The victim said she managed to get out of the house and knock on her neighbor’s door to seek assistance.

An officer wrote in a report that Floyd appeared to be the aggressor in the video and she also admitted to throwing objects at the victim. She was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
