Sheriff Leland Falcon reported these arrests:

--Grant Michael Walker, 31, Murial Street, Bayou L’Ourse, was arrested Saturday on charges of domestic abuse-aggravated assault, domestic abuse battery and simple criminal damage to property.

The charges arise from a domestic incident on Murial Street.

Deputies were dispatched to the location and made contact with the complainants, who indicated Walker became irate and began tossing items around striking one of the complainants while knocking the second complainant to the ground.

Complainants stated Walker armed himself with a firearm before departing and making further threats toward the complainants.

Walker returned home while deputies were still conducting their investigation and he was arrested.

Walker was booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center and remains incarcerated with a bond set at $55,000.

--Nona K. Daigle, 64, La Jaunie Court, Bayou L’Ourse, was arrested on charges of attempted simple burglary and criminal trespass.

The charges resulted from the attempted burglary at a shed on La Jaunie Court on Sept. 8.

Deputies responded to the call for service and made contact with the complainant, who advised he was the caretaker of the property in question and noticed the doors to the shed open. The property caretaker viewed video footage that detected two female suspects attempting to
make forced entry into the building.

Deputies made contact with an individual now identified as Daigle, and deputies concluded that she was one of the persons detected in the video surveillance images.

At the conclusion of the investigation, deputies arrested Daigle and booked her into the Assumption Parish Detention Center pending a bond hearing.

Deputies are continuing their investigation and expect an additional arrest.
