Ashley Shay Benoit, 31, was arrested by the Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office on charges of battery of a dating partner and resisting an officer.

Benoit was arrested after deputies responded to East Gallagher Road, just northeast of Jennings, after receiving a complaint of a fight occurring inside a vehicle, according to Commander Ramby Cormier.

An investigation revealed that Benoit reportedly choked the victim, Cormier said.

Benoit resisted as she was being arrested.

Bond for Benoit was set at $5.000.
