A Simsboro-area man was arrested for simple battery after he allegedly beat his uncle over a financial matter.
Remington Brazzel, 21, was arrested March 17 after the alleged victim sought treatment at the Northern Louisiana Medical Center.
The deputy interviewed the victim at the emergency room. According to the deputy’s report, the victim had a 1.5” laceration under his right eye and was bleeding from his nose and mouth. The victim also complained of being hit on the back of his head.
The man said his nephew, Remington Brazzel, jumped him and beat him up after he confronted Remington over money he owes his father.
Remington Brazzel was interviewed at his residence. He said his uncle came at him. He said, “I did beat his —,” adding it was self-defense.
The deputy asked Remington Brazzel if he had any defensive injuries and he could not show any. The knuckles on both of his fists were damaged and bleeding. The deputy did not observe any damage to either of the victim’s hands.
Brazzel was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
