A Ruston man wanted on ten separate warrants was arrested last week but only after he had to be chased down and subdued.
Robert Antwon Stringfellow, Jr., 42, was arrested April 29 on Dunn Street on arrest warrants from Ruston and Lincoln Parish.
Lincoln Parish deputies and Ruston Police officers went to a Dunn Street residence where they found a man who identified himself as “Xavier Stringfellow” with a February
25 birth date. As deputies investigated, the man fled on foot. When he tripped and fell, three deputies attempted to handcuff him but he continued to resist.
The man was eventually taken to custody. He continued to give his name as Xavier Stringfellow, but his identity was verified as Robert Stringfellow, Jr.
Stringfellow was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for resisting an officer by false information, resisting an officer by force, eight warrants from City of Ruston, and two warrant from Lincoln Parish. The nature of the charges on the warrants was not immediately available.
