SHREVEPORT, La — On October 4, 2024, at approximately 9:30 PM, Shreveport Police officers responded to the Youth Empowerment Center in the 3100 block of 9th Street in reference to a 17-year-old male who had committed multiple misdemeanors.
Upon arrival, officers made contact with John Jordan as they attempted to reach his guardian to release him into custody.
Jordan refused to cooperate and escalated the situation by physically attacking the responding officer. During the altercation, Jordan bit the officer on the chest and attempted to grab the officer’s firearm. Despite the assault, the officer was able to retain control of the firearm, disengage from Jordan, and ultimately restrain and take him into custody.
Both Jordan and the officer were treated at the scene by the Shreveport Fire Department.
Jordan has been charged with one count of battery on a police officer and one count of attempting to disarm a police officer.
He has since been booked into Caddo Correction Center (CCC) on Battery of a Police Officer ($50,000 Bond) and Disarming a Peace Officer ($25,000 Bond) and he has a In State Fugitive Hold with no bond attached.
