A Doyline man was arrested Tuesday after a woman told Webster Parish sheriff’s deputies he choked her and damaged her vehicle during a dispute on Highway 527, according to an arrest report.
Austin Ward Shrock, 36, is accused of grabbing the woman’s face about 2 PM at a residence in the 7300 block of the highway, causing a cut on the left side of her nose, the report states. The woman said Shrock prevented her from leaving and choked her while she was seated in her Jeep with the driver’s door open. After releasing her, Shrock allegedly punched the vehicle’s driver‑side mirror several times, breaking it.
Deputies noted the woman’s injury and the damaged mirror. Shrock was booked into Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center on counts of battery of a dating partner and simple criminal property damage.
All subjects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
