Arrests reports

Jose Ainsworth, 45, of the 7200 block of U.S. 90 in Morgan City, was arrested Wednesday on a 24-year-old warrant for second degree battery.
St. Mary Parish Sheriff Mark Hebert said a deputy assigned to the warrants division developed information that Ainsworth returned to the area after living out-of-state for several years.
The warrant stems from an incident in which Ainsworth and a female were involved in an argument at a residence in Bayou Vista. Ainsworth grabbed the female and pushed her against a wall, Hebert said. She sustained a fractured wrist and was transported to Lakewood Hospital, now Teche Regional Medical Center, for treatment, Hebert said.
