Grambling Police arrested a woman for inappropriate behavior with a minor after the victim reported her conduct.
Officers responded to a domestic disturbance at a Grambling residence on February 9. They interviewed the reported victim who appeared upset and who asked for a ride away from the residence.
The man said he and his girlfriend, Anquanetta Chandler, 37, of Grambling, got into a verbal altercation. He said he dialed 911 in fear for his life after she said she was calling her brothers on him. The man said he and Candler had been in a relationship since October 2025 when he was 16 years old. He reportedly made a statement to officers that “Man, take her to jail, she knew I was 17.”
According to an officer’s report, after Candler was advised of her rights, she admitted to being in a relationship with the victim since October 2025. She said the man told her he was 21 years old. Candler admitted to having sex with the victim, thinking he was 21.
According to Louisiana law, lack of knowledge of a victim’s true age is not a defense against a charge of indecent behavior with a juvenile.
Candler was arrested for indecent behavior with a juvenile and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
Later in the day, Candler was also booked on a number of Grambling warrants for six counts of disturbing the peace, one count of damage to property, and one count of speeding.
