A man arrested by the Lincoln Perry Sheriff’s Office was charged with self-mutilation by a prisoner after he allegedly headbutted the metal transport cage in a patrol car numerous times, as well as other charges.
Datreo M. Wagner, 42, of Ruston, was arrested February 12 for disturbing the peace, domestic abuse battery with child endangerment, false imprisonment and self-mutilation of a prisoner, following an incident in a mobile home park on U.S. Highway 80 between Ruston and Grambling.
When deputies arrived at the location, they found Wagner and a woman arguing. The woman said Wagner had thrown her keys into a fire. While she was being interviewed, Wagner attempted to expose himself to urinate in the yard of the residence in front of young children, even though the front door was open, and there was a bathroom inside.
Wagner showed indications of intoxication and was taken into custody and placed in a patrol car. He then began headbutt the metal transport cage and kicking the door of the vehicle, attempting to cause self-injury and damage to the vehicle.
He was directed several times to stop the kicking and headbutting, but only cursed deputies. When he was taken out of the vehicle and placed in leg restraints, Wagner attempted to strike a deputy’s head with his head.
According to a deputy report, Wagner struck the metal cage with his head approximately 30 to 40 times.
The woman told deputy that in addition to throwing her keys in the fire, he had pushed her down and blocked the door, preventing her from leaving the residence.
Wagner was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for disturbing the peace, domestic abuse battery with child endangerment, false imprisonment, and self-mutilation of a prisoner.
