A Grambling woman is accused of battering her boyfriend of two years and destroying some of his property in connection with an incident Tuesday.
Latisha L. Paul, 47, was arrested by Grambling Police last Tuesday afternoon after officers investigated a domestic disturbance on Ruston Avenue.
A man told officers Paul battered him several times throughout the day and broke items in the house that belonged to him, including two television sets, a microwave, kitchen cabinets, and a picture frame. The man said the abuse had been ongoing for months and he was tired of it.
The man staid he was sitting in his neighbor’s yard talking when Paul walked up to him and hit him on the head with a large bag of items. When he grabbed the bag, Paul allegedly slapped him in the face, causing two large scratches. Officers saw that the scratches were still bleeding.
The neighbor verified the man’s account, adding that after Paul slapped the man, she broke a beer bottle on the side of the house and chased the man with it attempting to cut him.
Police located Paul about a block away and was taken into custody. She was booked for domestic abuse battery and criminal damage to property valued over $500. Bail was set at $3,500.
