A 24-year-old Lake Charles man has been arrested for aggravated second-degree battery and armed robbery.

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kayla Vincent said deputies were dispatched to a local hospital Sunday morning after receiving a complaint in reference to a battery.

She said during the initial investigation violent crimes division detectives learned the victim had been arguing with an acquaintance at which time Seth A. Barrick, 24, struck the victim in the head with an unidentified object and then stole his wallet.

Later the same day deputies located Barrick and charged him with aggravated second-degree battery and armed robbery.

Judge Tony Fazzio set his bond at $110,000.

The victim was airlifted to a hospital out of town and is listed in critical condition.
