Shreveport Man Arrested for Domestic Abuse After DoorDash Driver Calls Police

Shreveport Police arrested a man on domestic abuse charges after a woman asked a DoorDash driver to call SPD during a delivery to Westport Avenue.

Officers responding to the welfare call knocked on the hotel room door. A woman ran out toward them and said, “Please don’t let him hurt me. He’s in the room.” Officers detained Hines and called EMS after seeing extensive bruising and other visible injuries. The woman was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

The woman told officers that Antonio Hines had punched her repeatedly, hit her with a broomstick and a thermal cup, and strangled her. She also told SPD that Hines monitored her phone, prevented her from leaving the room without him, and made her cover her bruises with makeup. She told officers she asked the delivery driver to call police while Hines was downstairs.

Officers consulted the Shreveport Police Department’s Domestic Violence Unit. Hines was booked into the Shreveport City Jail on the following charges:

· Domestic abuse battery, second offense

· Domestic abuse battery involving a dangerous weapon

· Domestic abuse battery involving strangulation

· False imprisonment

· Resisting an officer

Hines was also booked on two City of Shreveport bench warrants.
