The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office has arrested 35 year-old Kenneth Lyons of Slidell following a Slidell-area home invasion.
Shortly after 4 a.m. Tuesday (September 9), St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the 1200 block of Cousin Street in Slidell in reference to a female being attacked and stabbed inside her residence.
A male had called 911 to advise he and the female were asleep inside the residence when a black male, later identified as Lyons, forced entry into the home. Lyons proceeded to physically attack the female, and at one point retrieved a knife and began stabbing and cutting the female several times. The male acquaintance fled from the home and called 911.
Pursuant to the investigation, Lyons was taken into custody and transported to the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center, where he is being booked for L.R.S. 14:27/30 Attempted Murder, L.R.S. 14:62.8 Home Invasion, and L.R.S. 14:34 Aggravated Battery. The Aggravated Battery charge stems from a previous incident involving the same female that wasn’t initially reported to law enforcement. No bond has been set as of this report.
The female was transported to an area hospital, where she was treated and released.
