Houma Police arrested a local teen Tuesday evening after he and an accomplice manhandled an unsuspecting 25-year-old woman who had stepped outside her home to get some fresh air.

Officers were called to the 400 block of Hobson Street in West Houma around 7:17 p.m. The woman said she was standing on the sidewalk when two males approached her, grabbed her on her private areas, and then ran away, according to a police release. One of the men, she told officers, was wearing a white T-shirt with “Hustler” written across the back.


Based on the woman’s description, officers stopped a 15-year-old juvenile on Morgan Street. The teen also had an outstanding warrant for contempt of court, police said.

The teen was arrested for simple battery and the warrant for contempt of court, and was transported to the juvenile justice complex.

Police were unable to find the other suspect. The case remains under investigation.
