A Shreveport woman is facing multiple charges, including a felony charge, following an incident that began as a disturbance call and later involved an alleged assault on a jail employee, according to the Shreveport Police Department.
Officers responded to a domestic disturbance call in the 6600 block of Bert Kouns Industrial Loop. Police said officers determined no physical altercation had occurred but found Kerstin Luoma was extremely intoxicated.
According to police, Luoma was taken into custody and allegedly began physically resisting officers. She was arrested on charges of disturbing the peace and resisting an officer with force or violence.
Police said the incident continued after Luoma was transported to the Shreveport City Jail, where she allegedly committed a battery against a jail employee.
Luoma now faces an additional felony charge of battery of a correctional facility employee.
The investigation remains ongoing. All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
