Choudrant man charged with attacking woman, possessing firearms
The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a Choudrant man last week after he allegedly beat and strangled his family member. Deputies also discovered the man was a convicted felon in possession of several firearms.
David Wayne Young, 39, was arrested December 5 at a Roach Road residence after a family member reported Young was beating the victim.
When deputies arrived, a juvenile told them the victim was hiding in her bedroom and Young was still at the scene in his bedroom.
Young was found with a mark on his hand with fresh blood. He was secured while a deputy interviewed the victim.
The woman said she was asleep when Young woke her attempting to have sex, and she refused. Young then went through her phone, accusing her and attacked her, she said.
Young allegedly pulled her hair, struck her with a closed fist and strangled her before she escaped and told a family member to call law enforcement.
Deputies found the master bedroom showed signs of a struggle and blood was found on a pillow. Six firearms were found in the bedroom. Young is a convicted felon stemming from a 2021 drug arrest and cannot possess firearms.
Young was booked into the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for domestic abuse battery with strangulation and six counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Young’s bail was set at $60,000.
