The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a local man Sunday after investigating a domestic disturbance in Choudrant.
Eric Allen, 41, of Choudrant, was arrested on several charges after a woman called 911 reporting her boyfriend was beating her before the call was abruptly disconnected.
The woman told responding deputies that Allen grabbed her by the hair and threw her on the bed. He then held her down with his hands. When he let her up, she grabbed her cell phone and called 911, but Allen took the phone from her and snapped it in half.
The woman said Allen then refused to allow her to leave the bedroom.
Allen initially refused to come out of the residence and ordered deputies to leave. He eventually complied and was taken into custody.
Allen was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for battery of a dating partner, false imprisonment, simple criminal damage to property, and interfering with emergency communications.
