The suspect, Samuel Sanzel Parks, 33, of Shreveport, had been asked to leave the casino by security guards at about 11:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

Local police arrived, and tried to calm Parks down. But that didn\u2019t work and officers got into a struggle with Parks.<\/p>\n

Eventually, he was apprehended. Then, he was charged with battery of a police officer, entering and remaining after being forbidden, and resisting an officer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

None of the officers was injured.<\/p>\n

Parks was booked at Caddo Correctional Center. His bail was set at $22K.<\/p>\n

The casino wasn\u2019t named in local news reports, but police said it\u2019s located on Clyde Fant Memorial Parkway, according to Louisiana<\/a> TV station KSLA.<\/p>\n

Car Passenger Injured at Ocean Casino<\/h2>\n

A man lost consciousness earlier this month after he was thrown off the hood of a car in the parking garage of Atlantic City\u2019s<\/a> Ocean Casino Resort.<\/a><\/p>\n

Initially, the man was seated inside the Nissan Altima. He got into an argument with the car\u2019s driver, Delilah Roldan, 21, of Texas.<\/p>\n

He then allegedly assaulted her. Soon, he got out of the car went onto the hood.<\/p>\n

While Roldan sped through the garage, the victim was tossed off of the hood, police said.<\/p>\n

The unnamed victim was critically injured. He suffered head injuries<\/a> and also had internal bleeding. Fractures were seen on his skull, face, and ribs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As of later in July, he had yet to regain consciousness<\/a>. He\u2019s believed to be intubated.<\/p>\n

Officers apprehended Roldan at a local hotel, according to BreakingAC, a local news site.<\/p>\n

She was charged with second-degree aggravated assault, third-degree assault by auto, and failure to report an accident with bodily injury.\u00a0She also was charged with reckless driving, failure to observe a traffic signal, failure to possess a driver\u2019s license, and failure to possess a registration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the same day, July 6, the same driver got into a two-car accident near the intersection of Pacific and Pennsylvania avenues in Atlantic City.<\/p>\n

Roldan has appeared in court and was released from custody.<\/p>\n

Her attorney, Yvonne Maher, objected to a photo of the bedridden victim to be presented in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t believe it\u2019s relevant and nor do we have any explanation about what\u2019s going on there,\u201d Maher said to Judge Pam D\u2019Arcy. \u201cIt\u2019s inflammatory.\u201d<\/p>\n

D\u2019Arcy did permit the photo to be allowed into evidence, but cautioned, \u201cthe court will give it the weight it deems appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a traumatic incident for her,\u201d Maher further said in court about her client.<\/p>\n

According to both my client and the discovery, he was the one who made the choice to jump on the hood of the vehicle,\u201d Maher added in court. \u201cThis wasn\u2019t a situation where she tried to mow him down or she was actively assaulting him.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But Assistant Prosecutor John Larson argued Roldan \u201chad numerous chances to report she had knowingly thrown someone from her vehicle\u201d but she didn\u2019t do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
