Recently, Southeast Patrol officers responded to a
disturbance at 4700 Wenda Road. Due to
previous incidents at this location, two officers from the Robbery Division
Violent Offender Squad also responded. Officers
learned that the victim’s estranged boyfriend, Donald Demouchette, 29, was
sitting outside her residence in his vehicle and quickly took him into custody.
The victim, 34, had filed
two previous reports against Demouchette. Just nine days before, she said Demouchette had
punched her, causing a black eye, and then stole her
vehicle. A week later, the woman reported
Demouchette strangled and physically assaulted her.
Upon learning Demouchette was
outside her apartment, the woman called police. She told our responding
officers this was now the third time he
had come to her apartment and she was
scared. Based on those two previous
encounters, officers were able to obtain charges for
assault on a family member and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. After the
second assault, Demouchette was also charged
with continuous violence against the family.
Demouchette was found in
possession of methamphetamine when he was arrested
and as a result also charged with possession of a controlled substance.
Great work by these officers to get this violent suspect off
of the streets!
At the time of his arrest, Demouchette
was on bail for evading arrest in a vehicle, driving while intoxicated, two
counts of possession of a controlled substance, and unlawful possession of a
firearm by a felon. These charges were filed between February and November of
2019.
Demouchette has prior convictions for aggravated robbery
with a deadly weapon and driving while intoxicated.
