A Ruston man was arrested last Friday after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend.
Ruston Police responded to a West California Avenue apartment complex about 6:30 p.m. December 29 regarding an assault in progress. When officers arrived, Zacharian N. Hill, 19, was seen running for an apartment building.
The victim told officers Hill had struck her earlier in the day and just before police were called, he had dragged her across the apartment by her hair.
Hill was detained and questioned. He reportedly said he grabbed the victim but not forcibly.
A records check indicated Hill was wanted by Ruston Police on warrants from a previous incident charging his with felony criminal damage to property and battery of a dating partner. Hill was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for domestic abuse battery and the two warrants.
