Assumption

Sheriff Leland Falcon reported these arrests:

--Brooke Nicole Gambrell Rulf, 27, Quail Run Drive, Bayou L’Ourse, was arrested Friday on charges of disturbing the peace and two counts of assault on a teacher.

The arrest resulted from an incident Friday at Bayou L’Ourse Primary School.

Deputies were dispatched to the school in reference to a disturbance. Deputies made contact with school administrators, who identified Rulf as the individual who arrived on school campus and conveyed threats towards school personnel.

At the conclusion of their investigation, deputies traveled to Rulf’s home, where she was arrested.

Rulf was booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center with bond set at $40,000.

--Victor Manual Magana Cerritos, 34, La. 663, Bayou L’Ourse, was arrested Friday on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and driving while intoxicated (first offense), and on a detainer for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The arrest followed a disturbance complaint in the 400 block of La. 663 late Friday evening.

Deputies responded to the location and made contact with the complainant/victim, who advised that his neighbor, now identified as Cerritos, engaged him in a verbal altercation involving personal issues. At some point, Cerritos threw a box cutter with an exposed blade, striking the victim in a hand.

Deputies located Victor Manual Magana Cerritos next door, sitting in his automobile behind the steering wheel and in complete physical control of the vehicle. Deputies removed Cerritos from the vehicle and arrested him. Deputies recovered a box cutter from the person of Cerritos.

Cerritos was transported and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center and remains incarcerated with bond set at $55,000. He is held without bond on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer.

St. Mary

Sheriff Gary Driskell reported these arrests:

--Juvenile male, 16, Berwick, was arrested at 9:10 a.m. Sunday on two counts of resisting arrest or officer, aggravated flight from an officer, aggravated obstruction of highway, hit and run, failure to seek assistance, resisting officer (false information), possession of stolen things, two counts of negligent injuring, illegal possession of a handgun by a juvenile, illegal possession of stolen firearms and driver must be licensed.

On Sunday, a sergeant on patrol was conducting a check of the Siracusa area that has had recent thefts and burglaries when he observed a pickup truck with a male subject parked near the tree line. The sergeant made contact with the subject, who suddenly fled in the truck.

The suspect eventually turned west onto La. 182 and proceeded at a high rate of speed into Morgan City. At one point, the truck failed to stop at an intersection and attempted a 90-degree turn. While making the turn, the suspect struck a Morgan City Police Department unit.

Through the investigation, it was discovered that the juvenile male was the same suspect who had recently led Berwick Police Department Officers on a pursuit. Furthermore, it was learned that the vehicle being driven by the suspect was also a stolen vehicle.

The juvenile male was taken into custody and is currently being held pending juvenile court proceedings.

Driskell thanked the Morgan City Police Department, the Berwick Police Department and the Vermillion Sheriff's Office for their assistance in this incident and investigation. The crash investigation has been turned over to the Louisiana State Police.
