Luis Antonio Duran
Monday afternoon at 2:17, Paris Officers worked a disturbance in progress in the 1400 block of East Houston Street, wherein the caller advised dispatch that a woman hired him to work on the house, and the husband fought him. The husband, Luis Antonio Duran, 37, of Paris, admitted to using methamphetamine about two hours before the officer’s arrival and walked officers to a backyard shop and grabbed a white plastic container containing a clear crystal-like substance, testing positive for methamphetamine. They took Duran into custody for Possession of a Controlled Substance and booked him into the Paris Police Jail.
Officers are investigating two Class “A” Assaults. A Community Service Officer spoke with a Credit Union Representative, who advised that a customer’s account had unauthorized withdrawals at two locations. One was for $3,000 from a Paris location, and the other was for $2,500.00 from a Shreveport account. Someone had made the withdrawals with a teller in the bank, not at the ATM. Presumably, the suspect presented ID to make the withdrawals. Police will investigate persons using Fraud or Possession of Identifying Information.
