Student arrested for assault after argument over phone password
A University student was arrested April 3 for battery and dating violence.
Sgt. Blake Tabor, LSU Police Department spokesman, said police arrived at the Blake Hall parking lot in response to disturbance between a male and a female.
The couple traveled from Reggie’s Bar in Tigerland to the victim’s residence hall on campus, Tabor said.
The two argued about the victim’s cellphone. Tabor said the male, Jason Tarver, 19, of 18304 Lake Harbor Lane in Prairieville, was angered by the pass code, which was her ex-boyfriend’s birthday.
Tarver grabbed the victim’s wrist. The victim asked Tarver to release her, but she said he tightened his grip. The victim then called LSUPD, Tabor said. Tabor said the victim had no visible injuries.
The victim admitted to a previous altercation with Tarver. She said Tarver grabbed her wrist two weeks prior, but she did not report it because she feared for her safety.
Tarver was transported to the LSUPD office and said he “never touched her,” Tabor said. Tarver was then arrested and booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
