An apparent dispute over medication between a father and son has resulted in the arrest of an 18-year-old Minden man for an alleged threat and physical assault.

John S. Rolen was taken into custody Monday and charged with domestic abuse battery in connection with the incident at a residence in the 1800 block of Tillman Church Rd.

Webster Parish Deputy Justin Spillers reportedly responded to the disturbance call and after questioning, learned the man’s father had attempted to talk with his son about his medication.

During their conversation, Rolen allegedly grabbed his father, threatened to kill him and threw him to the ground. According to reports, the father suffered a shoulder injury during the incident.

Rolen reportedly is being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center. His bond has been set at $5,000.
