Brandon Patrick, 31, from Ponchatoula, Louisiana, was arrested on January 30, 2026, after allegedly holding a woman captive for days and biting off part of her face during her escape attempt on January 27.
Incident Summary
The domestic dispute began over the weekend prior to January 27 at their shared home near Lake Pontchartrain, escalating to false imprisonment; Patrick reportedly attacked as she fled, inflicting severe facial injuries requiring hospitalization. She has since been released to a safe recovery location, per sheriff’s updates.
Arrest and Charges
Patrick, an identical twin with distinctive tattoos (left arm half-sleeve with house/scroll, right full sleeve) and a right-hand stab scar, surrendered peacefully at the Hammond substation after public appeals labeled him dangerous due to gang ties and felon status. He faces domestic abuse battery with serious bodily injury and false imprisonment; more charges are expected as the probe continues.
Victim Status and Context
The victim and Patrick’s relationship involved cohabitation, though details remain undisclosed; authorities emphasize ongoing risks in such cases, urging tips via TPSO at 985-902-2088 or Crime Stoppers.
