Sheriff Leland Falcon reported these arrests:
—Kenny Paul Clements, 29, Plaisance Street, Lockport, was arrested Saturday on charges of simple criminal damage to property, simple battery and domestic abuse battery.
The arrested resulted from an incident early Saturday in Pierre Part.
Deputies were dispatched to a St. Jude Street address in Pierre Part and made contact with the complainant, who advised deputies that her boyfriend had been drinking and became physical with her, which included striking and choking her.
At the conclusion of the investigation, deputies believed that the suspect, Clements, had indeed committed a battery upon the victim.
Clements was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center and released on a $5,000 bond.
—Douglas Ferris, 35, Eagle Point, Pierre Part, was arrested Thursday on charges of simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling, simple burglary and illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and on Assumption Parish warrants alleging failure to appear on two theft charges.
The latest charges are related to a burglary that occurred on or about April 27 in Belle River.
On that date, deputies and detectives responded to the incident and located a boat believed to have been occupied by Ferris a short time earlier. Deputies seized a firearm from the boat.
That firearm had been reported stolen in St. Martin Parish. Ferris is a convicted felon.
Deputies were also able to link Ferris to a pair of burglaries in the Belle River area.
Detectives applied for and were granted arrest warrants on April 27. Ferris was arrested in Bogalusa on Thursday and transported and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center pending a bond hearing.
