Desoto Parish Sheriff Jayson Richardson announces the arrest of a violent felon who has been on the run since March of this year. Isom Scott, a 44-year-old black male of Many.
Scott was wanted on charges of Domestic Abuse Aggravated Assault (felony), Interfering with Emergency Communications (misdemeanor), and Domestic Abuse Battery with Strangulation (misdemeanor).
Warrants were issued earlier this year, but Scott fled and had been evading capture for several months. After an extended investigation, DeSoto Parish Deputies assigned to the U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force were able to locate Scott in west Shreveport, where he was taken into custody without incident. Scott is also facing additional charges through Federal Probation and Parole.
Sheriff Richardson extends his appreciation to the deputies and task force personnel involved for their persistence and commitment in locating and apprehending this violent offender.
