The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a Dubach man Sunday after he allegedly beat his girlfriend.
David Gamble, 53, was arrested for domestic abuse battery after deputies interviewed a woman at the Northern Louisiana Medical Center emergency room.
The woman told deputies Gamble had kicked her and punched her in the face twice, causing her nose to bleed.
Deputies observed a laceration on the woman’s lip and that two of her teeth had been broken. She said there would be blood at the residence where the incident occurred on La. Highway 151.
Deputies later found Gamble at that residence. He denied striking the woman and said they had been arguing and a door accidentally hit her in the mouth. Blood was found on the floor of the residence and a bloody tooth in the bathroom.
Gamble was arrested and taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention center. His bail was set at $50,000.
