A Minden man is housed at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center after allegedly assaulting his grandmother.

Kevin Gordon, 32, of the 1400 block of Lewisville Road, Minden, is charged with aggravated battery and criminal damage to property.

Police Chief Jared McIver said Off. Cadyn O’Connor, Sgt. Reece Tewell and Lt. Keith King were dispatched to the apartment complex around midnight Friday, January 19.

“When officers arrived on scene, they could hear a male yelling through the apartment door,” McIver said. “When they knocked on the door, Gordon answered. He appeared aggressive, confused and intoxicated.”

Gordon’s grandmother reportedly said Gordon broke her walker and destroyed a bedroom.

“The officers escorted Gordon to the back of the hallway near the bedroom door and frisked him for officer safety,” said the chief. “They located inside his right pocket a flat empty pint of Kentucky Deluxe whiskey, two lighters and a pocketknife.

While officers attempted to interview Gordon, he reportedly was unable to provide a coherent statement, instead, said the chief, he gave conflicting statements.

“Gordon was wearing a hospital bracelet, and could not give officers a correct time for when he arrived home,” McIver said. “As the interview continued, Gordon became more aggressive, so he was placed in cuffs for his safety.”

Off. O’Connor interviewed the grandmother who reportedly told him she allowed her grandson into her home once he left Minden Medical Center the previous night.

“She said he arrived in an intoxicated state, became aggressive and threw things around the room. He shattered the glass to the bedroom window then started an argument with her,” McIver said. “He slammed his fist onto her walker and broke the front bar. Then, he threw his phone and struck her in the arm … something he said he didn’t remember doing.

“He continuously referred to his grandmother as a terrorist and said she needs to die,” the chief continued.

Gordon suffered a minor laceration on his leg allegedly from trying to climb out the shattered bedroom window. He was arrested and taken to Minden Police Department where he consented to a breath test. Reports confirm his alcohol content was .211. He was later transported to BDCC.
