Cops: Suspect beat ex-girlfriend and another with iron rod during home invasion

A 20-year-old Houma man is in custody of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office after he allegedly beat two women with a metal rod.

On June 12 at approximately 3:30 a.m., TPSO deputies were called to 273 Monarch Drive in Houma in reference to a disturbance.

Deputies arrived at the location and learned that an alleged home invasion had taken place and that the suspected perpetrator was still at the location.

Authorities immediately took the suspect into custody without incident, identifying him as Latronce James Moore, 20, of 1204 Short St., Houma. From there, authorities started their investigation.

During investigation, deputies said they learned that the case had two victims a 23-year-old woman and a 27-year-old woman.

The 23-year-old, authorities said, is an ex-girlfriend of Moore. The 27-year-old woman is the first victim’s friend.

While investigating, authorities were told that Moore went to the residence and knocked on the door and no one answered.

Moore then allegedly gained entry into the residence through the living room window as the two victims ran and locked themselves into the bathroom.

Moore then forced his way into the bathroom and proceeded to attack the females, according to TPSO.

Moore allegedly ripped the metal rod towel holder off the wall and hit both victims in their faces and bodies multiple times.

The friend of Moore’s ex-girlfriend managed to get away and call TPSO. Acadian Ambulance was also called to the scene and both victims were taken to a local hospital where they were treated for their injuries.

The 27-year-old victim needed stitches to her legs and stomach.

James is charged with home invasion.

He is held in the Terrebonne Parish Jail without bond.

Pregnant woman arrested on drug, burglary charges

A pregnant woman is in custody of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office after she stole items including credit cards from camps in Chauvin.

On June 4, 2017, TPSO deputies responded to the 7500 block of La. Highway 56 in Chauvin in reference to a call of burglaries.

During the investigation, authorities learned that a pregnant white female had stolen some items from beneath one of the camps in the area, then allegedly went inside another and stole credit cards.

Authorities said the credit cards were then used at a local business in the Houma area.

Authorities posted a photo of the alleged suspect on TPSO’s Facebook and authorities got multiple calls, which identified the woman as Megan Pearson, which led to charged being filed for two counts of simple burglary and unauthorized use of an access card.

Last Wednesday, TPSO located Pearson during a traffic stop, which occurred in the 2300 block of Coteau Road in Houma.

She was taken to the sheriff’s office for questioning and was subsequently arrested on the above-stated warrants.

During a search of Pearson, she was found to be in possession of suspected heroin and a syringe, which also led to charged of possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Pearson remains in the Terrebonne Parish Jail on a $125,000 bond.

Authorities said the case is still being investigated and more charges are expected to follow.
