A 34-year-old Houma man is in custody of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office after he allegedly pointed a gun at a female victim following a disturbance.
Authorities were called to 273 Monarch Drive on Friday night in reference to a disturbance.
Upon arrival, deputies said they spoke to a female victim who said that she and others were outside cooking when Quincy Melendez, 34, of Monarch Drive, Houma, walked across the street to their location.
The woman said Melendez was intoxicated and was talking very loud. The woman said she told Melendez to be quiet so they would not get evicted from their apartment. Upon being told that, the suspect allegedly became angry and left the scene.
Minutes later, Melendez allegedly returned and started to yell at the victim, pulling out a silver handgun and pointing it at her. He then left the scene prior to deputies’ arrival.
Authorities said Melendez was driving a 1996 Silver Mercury Marquis at the time of the incident.
After about 20 minutes, authorities patrolling the area located Melendez’s vehicle, conducting a traffic stop at Monarch Drive.
He was taken into custody and arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm.
Melendez was taken to the Terrebonne Parish Jail where he is held on a $30,000 bond.
