A Ruston man was arrested after a domestic violence incident in Grambling Saturday.
Tedde A. Woods, 57, was arrested for domestic abuse battery just after midnight Saturday morning after a victim alleged he beat her.
At about 11:45 p.m. on September 20, a woman reported to the Grambling Police Department that Woods had hit her in the face with a closed fist several times, demanding the car keys to a rental vehicle. The woman said Woods took the keys and gave them to his nephew who left and then Wood took a truck and left. When Woods returned, the woman said she ran out the front door, jumped in the truck, and went to her daughter’s house and then the police station.
GPD officers went to the residence to speak with Woods and found him in bed asleep. He said the victim jumped on him once he grabbed the keys to leave. He stated she bit him on the arm, so he did what he had to do to get her off him.
As a result of the investigation and bruises found on the victim’s face, Woods was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center. His bail amount was not available.
