A woman was arrested last week following an incident involving alleged narcotics possession, according to the Ruston Police Department.
D’waykeneyah Wilson, 27, of Ruston, was arrested on May 2 after she allegedly fought officers.
According to an arrest affidavit, officers were in the area of East Line Avenue and Arlington Street when they heard gunshots. Wilson and a man were seen walking and officers attempted to stop them.
Wilson attempted to flee and resisted officers as they tried to detain her. Wilson continued resisting while being placed in restraints but was eventually secured.
During a search of the patrol vehicle after Wilson was removed at the detention center, officers located a plastic baggie containing less than one gram of suspected methamphetamine.
Wilson was booked for possession of methamphetamine, battery of a police officer, resisting an officer, and a 2025 warrant from Third District Court for possession of a Schedule II controlled substance.
