The charges result from an incident in Bayou L’Ourse on Sunday evening.

A uniformed patrol deputy was dispatched to a Bayou L’Ourse address in reference to a disturbance. Deputies made contact with the complainant, who advised that her domestic partner, now identified as Stansbury, had become enraged over personal issues, had pulled a knife upon her and also physically struck her.

The deputy located Stansbury, who at the time was in a bedroom in the home the victim and suspect shared. During the incident, Stansbury threatened the victim with a knife.

Investigating deputies observed injuries to the victim’s face and neck consistent with the victim’s statements to law enforcement.

Stansbury was booked into the Assumption Parish Detention with bond set at $42,500.
