Shreveport Man Arrested After Bar Brawl Turns Ugly
SHREVEPORT, La. – It was just after midnight on a typical Monday when things took a chaotic turn at the Round Bar on Youree Drive, leaving a local man facing a whole list of serious charges. Cameron Davis, a 25-year-old from Shreveport, was caught up in a wild altercation, which started innocently enough but quickly spiraled out of control.
What Happened at the Round Bar?
Witnesses reported that Davis sparked the incident by picking a fight with other patrons. While things got heated, Davis was seen reaching for a handgun that was tucked into his waistband. This troubling behavior raised red flags, prompting other bar-goers to alert the police. Officers arrived promptly and quickly detained Davis, conducting a pat-down that revealed the gun in his waistband.
Combative Behavior and Escalation
But the drama didn’t stop there. Once officers transported him to the police patrol unit, things only escalated. Davis, apparently in no mood to cooperate, kicked the doors and windows of the police vehicle. This led to officers needing to use pepper spray to regain control of the situation. Talk about a wild night!
When the scene shifted to the jail, officers were still dealing with Davis’ combative nature. Reports indicate he continued to display aggressive behavior, shouting “profane, racist and derogatory remarks” at both police officers and fire department personnel. Unfortunately, this behavior continued into a local hospital where he was taken for evaluation after complaining of an injury.
A Disturbing Act in the Hospital
Even in a healthcare setting, Davis was anything but cooperative. While at the hospital, he reportedly spit in the face of a healthcare worker – a despicable act that’s hard to comprehend, especially in today’s health environment. After this alarming incident, he was returned to jail without further ado.
A Growing List of Charges
So, what charges is Cameron Davis facing? Typically, in situations like these, the charges can include everything from assault to resisting arrest. To top it all off, police found that he had an outstanding warrant for theft – talk about adding fuel to the fire!
“Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported during the incident,” said Cpl. Chris Bordelon in a statement. “The Shreveport Police Department commends the swift actions of its officers in preventing further harm and ensuring public safety.”
The Aftermath
