Assumption
Sheriff Leland Falcon reported these arrests:
--Angie Mitchell, 48, Texaco Street, Pierre Part, was arrested Saturday on charges of battery on a police officer and two counts of resisting arrest.
--Brice Adam Scully, 23, Cypress Street, Pierre Part, was arrested Saturday on charges of battery on a police officer and two counts of resisting arrest.
The arrests result from a disturbance at a Pierre Part lounge.
On Saturday evening, deputies working an assignment encountered an individual identified as Scully engaged in an argument with another individual. At some point, a deputy observed Scully strike the victim with a closed fist, knocking him to the floor.
Deputies attempted to take Scully into custody. He resisted those efforts. At some point, deputies were able to subdue Scully. Shortly after the initial confrontation, Mitchell allegedly rushed one of the deputies in an attempt to separate him from Scully.
After some resistance, Mitchell was arrested. Mitchell and Scully were booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center. Mitchell was incarcerated and released on a $7,000 commercial bond. Scully was released on a $20,000 commercial bond.
