A Minden man was taken into custody June 5 in connection with a domestic violence incident that occurred earlier the same day on Constable Street.
According to Minden police, officers observed Jeremy Clark standing near the intersection of Clerk Street and Constable Street at approximately 9:15 PM. Clark was wanted in relation to a domestic incident for which complaints had been filed. He was taken into custody without incident, advised of his rights, and transported to the Minden Police Department for booking.
Earlier that day, officers responded to Louisiana Probation and Parole on Industrial Road, where a woman reported being physically assaulted by Clark, her boyfriend. The victim told police that Clark, 32, became verbally and physically aggressive during an altercation. She stated he slapped her in the face and threw water on her. When she attempted to defend herself by throwing a board at him, Clark reportedly picked it up and threw it back, striking the back of her head and causing bruising and swelling.
The victim also told police she fired a BB gun at Clark twice during the altercation after he continued to throw objects at her. Officers noted visible bruising on her chest, arms, and legs. A previous incident involving the same individuals had been reported on May 17.
Clark was transported to the Minden Police Department and booked in connection with the incident.
All subjects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
