ARREST Continued from page 1

“Justin Miller was seeing this girl and they’d split up,” Igo said. “She’d told him on occasions to stay away, and we’d been down there numerous times to her residence.” Igo says on that particu- lar morning, after he’d been discovered inside her residence, they’d gotten into an argument and he reportedly got physically aggressive with her. Igo says he was given an opportunity to come in to answer some questions, and when he didn’t, a warrant for his arrest was issued. The warrant was turned over to the U.S. Marshal’s Service, and they appre- hended him Tuesday. The incident occurred roughly a few weeks ago. He was booked into Bayou Dorcheat Correc- tional Center on the above charges.
