Shreveport Man Arrested for Threats and Attempted Arson

Earlier this month, Shreveport Police were called out to Millicent way to reports of a threat and attempted arson.

The victim was able to provide enough credible information to prompt an investigation. While investigating the case, SPD found what appeared to be an attempted arson to the victim's apartment. SPD found text messages that were allegedly sent by Jaylon Davis to the victim that confirmed many of the complaints by the victim.

Over the next several days, the victim called the Police several times with more complaints about Davis' ongoing harassment. SPD called on investigators with the Shreveport Fire Department to help with the suspected arson of the victim's apartment.

On Tuesday, SPD got a call from the victim again, and they were able to locate Davis. Davis was arrested and charged with simple assault and also arrested on an outstanding warrant for aggravated arson.

From SPD:

"We thank the dedicated officers of the Shreveport Police Department and our partners at the Shreveport Fire Department for their outstanding work and collaboration on this case."
