Shreveport Police Arrest Man in Domestic Hammer Attack and Woman in DWI Crash
Shreveport Police arrested 29‑year‑old Demarcus Williams after a domestic dispute in which a woman struck him once with a hammer and reported that he later brandished a handgun. The incident, which took place in a home on Raspberry Lane, was witnessed by the couple’s three children. Williams was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center on three counts of Domestic Abuse Battery with Child Endangerment and one count of Domestic Abuse Battery Aggravated Assault. The injured man was transported to Ochsner LSU Health with non‑life‑threatening injuries.
In a separate incident, 34‑year‑old Jamie M. Young was arrested following a DWI crash on Greenwood Road that overturned a Chevrolet Malibu and injured three children. The children were unrestrained; the 6‑year‑old was ejected and suffered a serious head injury and remains in critical condition, while the other two children sustained non‑life‑threatening injuries. Young posted a blood‑alcohol level of 0.19% and was booked into the Shreveville City Jail on charges of first‑degree vehicular negligent injuring, first‑offense DWI, and additional traffic offenses. Both incidents highlight ongoing concerns about domestic violence and impaired driving in the Shreveport area.
