DeSoto Parish Sheriff Jayson Richardson announced the arrest of a violent felon who had been on the run since March 2025.

Isom Scott, a 44-year-old resident of Many, was wanted on charges of Domestic Abuse Aggravated Assault (felony), Interfering with Emergency Communications (misdemeanor), and Domestic Abuse Battery with Strangulation (misdemeanor). Warrants had been issued earlier this year, but Scott evaded law enforcement for several months.

After an extended investigation, deputies assigned to the U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force located Scott in west Shreveport, where he was taken into custody without incident. He is also facing additional charges through Federal Probation and Parole.

Sheriff Richardson expressed his gratitude to the deputies and task force personnel for their persistence and dedication in apprehending Scott, describing the arrest as the result of a coordinated and thorough effort to remove a violent offender from the community.
