The Union Parish Sheriff’s Office has arrested a man last week following a violent domestic incident involving a knife near Marion.
Nicholas Yaxcalmasc, 47, of Marion, was arrested on numerous charges including attempted second degree murder.
On February 14, UPSO deputies were sent to a residence in the Conway community of Marion regarding a reported domestic disturbance involving a knife. Information received indicated an adult male had allegedly armed himself with a knife, attacked several family members, and then fled the scene. While responding to the incident, deputies saw the Yaxcalmasc’s vehicle and were nearly hit head-on by the suspect. Deputies conducted a traffic stop near Farmerville and took Yaxcalmasc into custody without further incident.
The investigation revealed Yaxcalmasc had allegedly attempted to stab a family member during a disturbance at the residence. Additional individuals, including juveniles, were present during the incident. The investigation determined multiple victims were placed at risk during the disturbance.
Yaxcalmasc was booked into the Union Parish Detention Center for attempted second degree murder, domestic abuse battery with child endangerment, cruelty to juveniles, simple battery, and reckless operation of a vehicle.
Bail had not been set at publication time.
