IOTA, La. (KLFY) -- A Texas man is charged with domestic violence and rape after an incident in Iota Sunday morning, authorities said.
Israel Anzualda, 36, of College Station, Texas, is charged with domestic abuse battery, false imprisonment and sexual battery. Anzualda listed the Texas address at his booking, but officials said he and the victim had been living together in Iota for several years.
Acadia Parish Sheriff's deputies responded at approximately 6:30 a.m. Sunday to a report of a domestic disturbance.
Investigators said the suspect and the victim were at their residence when the suspect allegedly hit the victim after an argument. The victim went to bed and the suspect allegedly entered the bed and committed sexual battery on the victim, officials said.
According to authorities, the victim then entered a truck, attempting to leave the residence. As the victim began to leave, the suspect jumped into the bed of the truck and broke the rear glass attempting to stop her. The victim drove the vehicle with the suspect in the bed of the truck to a local police station, where both parties were separated.
Anzualda is being held in the Acadia Parish Jail on a $65,000 bond.
