Man arrested in domestic incident

A Ruston man was arrested Saturday after he entered his estranged wife’s home without permission and injured her.

The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to a mobile home park on Tarbutton Road about 11:30 p.m. Saturday night. A woman said she and her husband, Cirillo Herrera, 43, were separated and stayed in different units in the park. She said Herrera came to her residence and walked inside without warning or invitation. She asked him to leave and as he was going out the door, he allegedly pushed her head into the door frame.


A deputy found a red mark on the woman’s face. A video was viewed which showed Herrera pushing the woman’s face and head into the door frame.

Herrera was located and was found to be highly intoxicated. He was arrested for domestic abuse battery and unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling. Bail was set at $10,000.
