PIERRE PART – Assumption Parish deputies arrested a teenager on battery charges after hospitalizing a person with "significant injuries." 

On May 12, deputies responded to a healthcare facility to find a person being treated for injuries sustained earlier that day. The person told authorities that a juvenile attacked them. 

Deputies eventually identified a 16-year-old suspect, taking them into custody on Thursday. 

They were booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center on second-degree battery charges, but have been ruled to be held in a juvenile facility.
