A domestic dispute reportedly arising from anger over contents of a cell phone has put a 19-year-old Doyline man in the parish prison facing a pair of very serious charges involving alleged abuse.

Webster Parish Sheriff Jason Parker said Donavan Collin Price is jailed on charges of domestic abuse with child endangerment and aggravated assault with a firearm as a result of the incident.

According to reports, deputies were called just after 8:30 p.m. Saturday to an address in the 100 block of Poverty Point where the alleged victim claimed her boyfriend (Price) had been holding and shaking their baby while confronting her over something he found on her phone.

Deputies were also told Price pointed a semiautomatic handgun at the victim, then began to shake her also. Following that confrontation, the victim reportedly managed to take the gun from Price’s pocket where he had placed it.

Price reportedly had left the residence before deputies arrived, but just after midnight Bossier City police called to say he had turned himself in at their headquarters. He was arrested, returned to the parish and booked into Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center. No bond has been set.
