Two separate confrontations on Friday, one between a mother and daughter and another involving dating partners, have a pair of women charged with domestic violence.

In the first incident, 22-year-old Carnesha J. Jenkins of Shreveport was arrested by Webster Parish deputies just before 5 a.m. for aggravated battery and aggravated battery of a dating partner. Jenkins allegedly kicked her victim and then attempted to stab him during a confrontation inside a vehicle.

According to reports, deputies were dispatched to investigate a vehicle in a ditch in the 500 block of South Main in Sibley. Upon arrival, the officers reportedly found Jenkins and an unidentified male arguing inside the vehicle.

A witness, reportedly the driver, told officers Jenkins and another passenger in the vehicle were arguing when she allegedly began kicking the victim in the face. During the altercation, Jenkins allegedly pulled a knife and threatened to stab the victim.

Deputies reportedly observed a cut on the victim’s hand and several stab-type cuts to the vehicle seat. The witness reportedly received a stab wound to his forearm before he managed to exit the vehicle.

Jenkins reportedly is being held in the parish jail. No bond has been set.

In a separate incident Friday, deputies arrested 24-year-old Arianna Brooke Rogers at her Sarepta residence just after 2:15 p.m. for allegedly physically and verbally assaulting her mother.

Deputies learned when the victim arrived home Thursday evening, Rogers allegedly began cursing and threatening her, continuing to do so throughout the night. The following morning, Rogers allegedly began throwing household items which struck her mother.

According to reports, Rogers had broken the bedroom door off its frame and was throwing stools and kitchen chairs when deputies first arrived on the scene. Rogers reportedly cursed deputies as she was arrested and continued to do so as she was being transported to jail.

Rogers reportedly is charged with domestic abuse battery and is being held in the parish jail under a $5,000 bond.
