Slidell Police were called to a local motel complex earlier this morning (August 28, 2024) to disperse several subjects from a room. As the first officer arrived on the scene, one of the subjects, a 15-year-old juvenile, was observed to be holding a firearm and engaged in a physical altercation with one of the staff members. As police confronted the juvenile, the juvenile dropped the firearm and took off running. The juvenile was quickly located and apprehended several blocks away.
Officers soon discovered that the staff member was physically struck in the face several times with the firearm by the juvenile during the altercation, sustaining several injuries as a result.
The juvenile was arrested and charged with Aggravated Battery, Illegal Possession of a Firearm by a Juvenile, Resisting an Officer by Flight, Possession of Narcotics, and Illegal Carrying of a Weapon During a Crime of Violence.
The incident remains under investigation.
