Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon reported these arrests:
— Jordan Darrall McManus, 28, of Billville Road, Hammond, was arrested Tuesday on charges of public intimidation, telephone communications (improper language, harassment) and three counts of simple assault.
Deputies were dispatched to a Labadieville location related to McManus threatening members of a household.
At some point, the deputy made contact via telephone with McManus.
During that conversation, the suspect made comments that were concerning to the deputy and sufficient to constitute violations of a criminal nature.
The deputy applied for and was granted arrest warrants for McManus. Those warrants were entered into the National Crime Database.
As a result, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested McManus.
McManus was transported to Assumption Parish on Tuesday and booked into the Detention Center pending a bond hearing.

The arrest was in connection with a July 8 attempted traffic stop and subsequent pursuit.
On that date, a deputy observed a vehicle commit a traffic violation near La. 1 and the La. 403 Bridge in Paincourtville and attempted to conduct a violator vehicle stop.
The driver sped off onto La. 308 and at some point, jumped out of the car while it was still engaged and fled on foot.
The deputy seized the vehicle as well as several items of evidence connecting Dupaty to the incident.
Warrants were obtained for Dupaty’s arrest. He was taken into custody on Tuesday afternoon and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center. Dupaty Jr. remains incarcerated pending a bond hearing.
