A Heflin man is currently being held on a number of serious charges stemming from a Sunday domestic dispute at a Minden residence.

Minden Chief of Police Jared McIver said 33-year-old Robert Robinson, who listed a residence in the 600 block of Windmill Rd., has been booked for domestic abuse battery with child endangerment, false imprisonment, two counts of resisting an officer with force or violence and remaining after being forbidden.

Robinson reportedly is being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center. Bond has not been set.

McIver said officers were dispatched to an address in the 500 block of Constable St. in reference to a disturbance where an ex-husband was attempting to enter the home. When officers Cadyn O’Connor and Anthony Crittenden arrived, they reportedly heard sounds of a physical altercation inside and a woman shouting.

When officers attempted to enter the house, the front doors reportedly were pulled shut from inside. McIver said the officers had to force their way inside where they observed a female pinned to the wall by the suspect.

After ignoring commands to release the female and warnings of potential force, officers used non-lethal force taser in an attempt to place Robinson in custody. He reportedly continued to actively resist arrest but was taken into custody.
