lary in-progress
Early Monday morning, just before 5:00am, Lieuten-
ant Jeremy Ballard was patrolling the 300 block of East
Pine Street and heard an audible burglar alarm coming
from the business of Greenwave Carwash.
Lieutenant Ballard be-
gan checking the business
and observed a male, later
identified as Ronnie Lumb-
ley, 52, walking away from
the rear of the building. In
the rear of the business, a
broken window was also
observed. As Lieutenant
Ballard attempted to de-
tain Lumbley, he began to
flee on a bicycle. Lieuten-
ant Ballard pursued Lum-
bley, as additional officers
raced to assist with the
chase.
The chase lasted several
blocks and Sergeant David
Bryant observed Lumb-
ley run behind a building
on South Barrone Street.
Sergeant Bryant ordered
him to surrender; instead,
Lumbley chose to fight.
Lieutenant Ballard caught
up, witnessing Lumbley
actively resist arrest. After
a brief struggle between
both Officers and Lumbiey,
he was taken into custody.
It was discovered that
Lumbley had just made
entry to the business of the
Greenwave Carwash by
breaking a rear window.
Lumbley was booked into
the Tangipahoa Parish Jail
on the following charges:
L.R.S. 14:62, Simple
Burglary L.R.S. 14:108,
Resisting an OfficerL.R.S.
14:108, Resisting an Offi-
cer
Lumbley was currently
on Parole for a previous
burglary charge at the time
of his arrest.
"I'm proud of the fast
response and teamwork
displayed by my Officers,"
said Chief Layrisson. "By
using investigative skill
and good judgment, anoth-
er criminal is behind bars.
We are here to send a mes-
sage that crime will not be
tolerated in Ponchatoula."
