The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a Dubach man last week after he struck a deputy who was investigating a disturbance involving the man.
Travis Humble, 46, was arrested for battery of a police officer and resisting an officer on November 21 at a residence on Hico Loop Road.
Responding deputies were told Humble was kicking the front door of a residence. Deputies found him in the front yard when they arrived. Humble said nothing had happened and that he was leaving.
Humble was told he was not free to leave until the matter was investigated, and he replied, “What are you going to do, shoot me?”
When Humble refused verbal commands so he could be detained, a Taser was deployed. Humble pulled the Taser probes out and then threw a large book, striking the deputy in the face. Humble was taken to the ground and continued to resist until other deputies arrived and he was secured.
Ruston Ambulance Service responded to the scene to render aid and cleared Humble for transport to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center to be booked.
