A Choudrant man was arrested Tuesday afternoon after a woman told deputies he struck her with a belt.
Jamie Colvin, 41, of Choudrant, was arrested at 4:28 p.m. Nov. 10 by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office.
According to an arrest affidavit, deputies responded to a Choudrant convenience store after a report of a battery at a Roach Road residence. The woman told a deputy she had gone to the residence to try to get some of her property. She said she was approached by Colvin, whom she had recently ended a relationship with. She said he punched her in the back of the neck, then took off his leather belt and struck her several times on her arms and body.
The woman said she left the residence and called the Sheriff’s Office. The deputy noted she was very upset and had a large belt-shaped welt on her left forearm. She was seen by EMS at the store.
Deputies went to the residence and found Colvin outside. He was advised of his rights and said he understood them. He told the deputy he did not know the woman and that he was single.
When the deputy described the belt the woman said was used, brown leather with deer around it, Colvin said he did not want to talk anymore.
Colvin was handcuffed and taken to Lincoln Parish Detention Center, where he was booked on a charge of battery of a dating partner.
