An alleged argument over car keys turned violent Thursday, resulting in the arrest of a 30-year-old Sibley man on charges including the domestic abuse of a Minden woman.

Chief of Police Jared McIver said Jamarion Jason Sneed, a resident of the 100 block of William Brown Rd. in Sibley, has been booked on charges of domestic abuse battery with strangulation and child endangerment and resisting an officer as a result of the incident.

McIver said officers were dispatched to a residence in the 500 block of Middle Landing shortly before 9 p.m. Thursday where they reportedly were met by several juveniles who claimed the suspect was inside the house atop their mother.

After entering the residence, Lt. Chris Hammontree and Officer Zane Crittendon reportedly found Sneed in a room, on top of the victim. As the officers attempted to gain control, the suspect reportedly resisted and had to be subdued.

During an interview with the victim, McIver said his officers learned the incident began with an argument after Sneed reportedly attempted to take car keys from the victim and leave the residence. At that point, the argument allegedly became physical.

Officers learned the victim reportedly was grabbed from behind, allegedly slammed to the ground and choked until she lost consciousness. After being dragged inside the residence, the victim reportedly managed to instruct her nine-year-old daughter, who witnessed the incident, to call police.

Sneed reportedly is currently being held in Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center where his bond has been set at $50,500.
