Need to determine whether this sentence is a run-on or not

Is the follwing sentece a run on?

Parris’ selfish ways remained intact when John Proctor arrived at court with Marry Warren to accuse Abigail and the rest of the girls of fabricating the witchcraft allegations.

If I need any commas, semi colons, or anything please let me know. Oh and it's for an essay btw.

I appreciate any help!

Welcome to English Forums! It's complex, but not a run-on sentence. I think it reads just fine without any further punctuation marks.
