MORGAN CITY, La. — Police arrested a couple early Friday and booked them on numerous charges after they allegedly fought with a police officer and briefly locked themselves into their trailer.
The incident started with a traffic stop near the Morgan City RV Park
In the early morning hours of October 6, 2023, Morgan City Police were called to the scene of a barricaded subject at the Morgan City RV Park on East Street.
According to a release, a police officer tried to pull over a vehicle that didn't have proper lights. The man was very uncooperative, and was trying to get into a camper trailer. The officer tried to stop him, and they struggled. That's when a woman came out of the trailer, and started hitting the officer. The couple then fled into the trailer, and barricaded themselves inside.
Back-up arrived and police and St. Mary Parish Sheriff's deputies came to help, and the couple inside were identified as Marvin and Valerie Williamson. Negotiators tried to get them to come out, but they stayed inside the trailer.
They finally came out when "chemical agents were deployed," the release states. They struggled again with officers, but finally were placed under arrest.
The Williamsons were the only people in the trailer.
Marvin Williamson, 63, was booked with Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer, Resisting an Officer with Force or Violence, Improper Lighting and on a warrant for failure to appear in court.
