DeSoto Parish Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle suffered some scrapes to his hands and arm after getting into a scuffle with a battery suspect.

Arbuckle was returning from a meeting in north DeSoto Parish when someone in the car with him saw a man in another vehicle hit a female passenger while at an intersection in Stonewall, Arbuckle said.

Arbuckle tells KEEL News he called for a marked unit, but followed the suspect until the man stopped. But when the Sheriff approached the car and told the driver he was the Sheriff, the guy tried to take off. The car bumped Arbuckle's leg and knocked him to the ground. That's when Arbuckle suffered "road rash" to his hands and arm.

The man was caught a short time later and he faces a long list of charges today.
