A Ruston man was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly damaged a door in an altercation with his relative.
Tony Ashley, 62, told officers he and his relative had an argument, but nothing happened. However, the relative said Tony had been threatening people all day. The relative locked the door to the Gill Street home because Ashley had gotten physical earlier in the day. Ashley then broke down the door, according to the relative.
The owner of the home told police he wanted to press charges against Ashley.
Ashley was arrested and booked for simple criminal damage to property. Bail was set at $1,500.
