JENNINGS, La. (KLFY) — A Jennings man was arrested, over the weekend, after police say he fired a warning shot after noticing what he called a “unidentified truck” parked outside his home.
Linus Whitley Landry, 57, was booked into the parish jail for resisting an officer and aggravated assault with a firearm.
According to the Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office, deputies received a call Saturday in reference to a suspicious “white truck” parked outside a home on Dave Williams Road.

On scene, deputies say, they discovered that the truck was there along with fire trucks from District 2 on scene of a gas leak call.
The district fire chief and volunteer fire fighters were waiting for deputies to arrive before going back to the vehicles.
