Shreveport Man Arrested for Aggravated Assault With a Firearm

The Shreveport Police Department has made an arrest following a roommate dispute that escalated into a dangerous situation involving a handgun.

Yesterday, individuals arrived at the Shreveport Police Department’s West Substation, located on Monkhouse Drive, to report that a subject, identified as Lannon Ford, had threatened another individual with a firearm.

Officers learned the incident happened at a residence on Waters Place and stemmed from a disagreement related to household responsibilities. During the argument, Ford allegedly armed himself with a handgun and threatened the victim.
