A woman was arrested early Thursday morning after she allegedly struck her boyfriend in the head with a bottle and damaged his laptop computer.
Ruston Police responded to North Village Apartments on Timberline Court shortly after midnight Thursday morning. A man was located outside the building bleeding from his left ear. He said his girlfriend had hit him, causing the bleeding.
The victim said Christin Briggs, 19, was angry because of how much time he spent on his computer. He said Briggs grabbed a bottle he was drinking from and dumped the contents onto his laptop. She then struck him in the head with a bottle.
Officers found a trail of blood drops leaving the apartment and down three flights of stairs to where the victim had been located. The man said he and Briggs had been dating for approximately two years and lived together at the apartment.
Briggs was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for aggravated battery of a dating partner and simple criminal damage to property.
