Sheriff Leland Falcon reported this arrest:
—Kelton J. Smith, 24, Murial Street, Bayou L’Ourse, was arrested Wednesday on charges of domestic abuse battery (aggravated assault) and two counts of theft, and on a hold as a fugitive from the Morgan City Police Department and a probation and parole detainer.
The felony domestic abuse charges arose for an April 19 incident on Elaine Street.
On April 19, a deputy responded to the Elaine Street address and made contact with the victim as well as a witness.
During those interviews, the deputy was able to establish that a domestic incident occurred at which time the suspect, now identified as Smith, had struck the victim with a piece of pipe, struck and slapped her multiple times.
Extended investigation revealed that an incident had occurred in Morgan City on or about April 8, also of a domestic nature.
At the conclusion of the investigation, the investigating deputy filed for and was granted arrest warrants for Smith.
On June 11, Smith was arrested by St. Mary Parish deputies on local charges.
On Wednesday, Smith was transported to the Assumption Parish Detention Center pending a bond hearing.
