A Ruston woman was arrested last week after she allegedly entered a residence armed with a knife and created a disturbance over a family matter.
Teresa Pemberton, 43, was arrested for aggravated burglary on March 12 at a La. Highway 146 residence.
Pemberton told responding Lincoln Parish deputies that she was at the residence to retrieve her vehicle from a relative. Pemberton said she knocked on the door and entered the residence without consent from the homeowner and went into her niece’s purse to retrieve the keys to the vehicle.
The residence of the home said they heard Pemberton yelling for her niece about the car keys and they saw Pemberton armed with a kitchen knife. They said Pemberton eventually put the knife down.
Pemberton was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center. Bail on the burglary charge was set at $20,000. Pemberton is also being held for the Probation & Parole unit of the Louisiana Department of Corrections.
