A Natchitoches man was arrested Wednesday afternoon after a theft report at a Ruston store.
Quadrez Mosley, 34, of Natchitoches, was arrested at 1:35 p.m. Nov. 4 by the Ruston Police Department.
According to an arrest affidavit, a lieutenant requested assistance at about 1:11 p.m. after seeing Mosley run out of the store. Mosley told officers he was trying to get back home.
The lieutenant noted an odor of alcohol coming from Mosley’s breath and found containers of alcohol in his possession. A store manager reviewed camera footage and found that Mosley had stolen the items.
Mosley was handcuffed and advised of his rights. He was then yelling at the manager and calling her names. When officers tried to escort him to a patrol unit, he tried to pull away. He refused to get into the unit and would not fully put his legs inside. A sergeant drew his Taser, and an officer then guided Mosley into the unit with open palms.
Mosley was taken to Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked on charges of theft, disturbing the peace by public intoxication and resisting an officer.
