Man arrested after domestic incident in Grambling

A Ruston man was arrested Saturday following a domestic violence incident in Grambling.

Tedde A. Woods, 57, was arrested shortly after midnight Saturday morning on domestic violence charges after a victim alleged he beat her.

On Sept. 20 at around 11:45 p.m., a woman reported to Grambling police that Woods punched her in the face several times and demanded the car keys to a rental car. The woman said Woods took the keys and gave them to his nephew, who drove away, and then Wood drove away in a truck. When Woods returned, the woman said she ran out the front door, jumped in the truck and drove to her daughter's house and then to the police station.

GPD officers went to the apartment to speak with Woods and found him asleep in bed. He said the victim jumped on him as he grabbed the keys to leave. He said she bit him on the arm, so he did what he had to do to get her off him.

Based on the examination and bruising found on the victim's face, Woods was arrested and booked into the Lincoln Parish Detention Center. The amount of his bail was unknown.
