A 33-year-old Minden man is under arrest after he reportedly violently resisted police officers who had responded to a call of a person making threats with a knife.

Chief of Police Jared McIver said Torry J. Capers, a resident of the 300 block of Weston St., is currently being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center charged with resisting arrest with force or violence. He is being held under a $20,000 bond.

Officers reportedly were dispatched to the Weston St. residence around 5:30 a.m. Monday to investigate reports of a man threatening family members with a knife.

After interviewing the victims, responding officers attempted to detain Capers and he reportedly immediately began violently resisting. Eventually, four officers were involved in placing him into custody.

During the struggle, one police officer reportedly suffered an injury to his wrist.
