A Gibsland man was arrested on numerous charges from Texas and Louisiana, including attempted second-degree murder.

Bienville Parish Sheriff John Ballance said Droxius Javante Dewhart is behind bars and isn’t leaving jail anytime soon. The 31-year-old was charged with possession of methamphetamine less than 28 grams (felony), violation of probation/parole, carrying of a weapon in the presence of a CDS (felony), sale, distribution or possession of a legend drug without prescription or order prohibited (misdemeanor), resisting an officer (misdemeanor), possession of a firearm/carry concealed weapon by a convicted felon, fugitive, aggravated criminal damage to property (felony), illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities (felony) and attempted second-degree murder.

Ballance said the arrest came when deputies Sgt. Steven Smith and Lt. Starcorius Dyes arrested Dewhart around 4pm, in the area of School and Fifth streets.

“As he was walking the streets that day, he ran from them,” Ballance said. “He was armed with a handgun at the time of his arrest. When he ran, deputies tased him and took him into custody without further incident.”

Bond is set at $465,000 and no bond for the two warrants in Texas and Louisiana has a probation/parole hold on him, Ballance said.

Three of the charges (illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities, aggravated criminal damage to property and attempted second-degree murder) all came from warrants from the Arcadia Police Department. Another charge, fugitive, is from two warrants from Shelby County, TX.
