Caddo Man Arrested for Beating His Father Over Several Days

Over the weekend, Deputies from the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the 4200 block of Roy Road in response to a welfare concern.

The victim’s daughter called CPSO and reported that she had not heard from her father for days and was unable to get him on the phone. When deputies got to the scene, they knocked on the door, and the victim, a 63-year-old disabled male, who showed visible signs of physical abuse and had blood on his face answered the door.

He told the CPSO Deputies that his son had been inside the home and had been physically abusing him since Christmas Day. The victim told Deputies that his son held him against his will and prevented him from seeking help by breaking his phone.

The victim described repeated assaults to investigators and said that his son demanded access to his bank accounts. The suspect was also blocking exits while wielding a hammer and threatening to set the house on fire if the victim attempted to leave.

Deputies entered the house and safely took the suspect, 38 year-old Johnathan Campbell into custody without incident.

The investigation confirmed that the victim had suffered through several days of physical abuse, extortion, and threats to his life. Campbell was taken to the Caddo Correctional Center and booked on the following charges:

- Domestic Abuse Battery

- Domestic Abuse Aggravated Assault

- False Imprisonment with a Dangerous Weapon

- Extortion

From CPSO:

"Additional charges are pending as the investigation continues. Anyone with further information related to this case is encouraged to contact the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office."
