A Parsons man has been arrested on a laundry list of charges including assault and battery.

 

Early Friday morning, Parsons Police responded to the 2200 block of Morgan regarding a report that a man had pulled a knife on a female inside a residence. The female had escaped the house.

 

The female victim told police that she had been dating the suspect, 55-year-old George Durant. A verbal argument at the residence apparently escalated and Durant reportedly confronted the victim in the residence with a large knife trapping her in a room of the house. Durant also was reported to have snatched the victim's purse from her during the incident. The victim was assaulted but did not sustain any life-threatening injuries and did not require medical attention.

 

Durant was taken into custody and was arrested for Aggravated Assault, Domestic Battery, Criminal Restraint, and Robbery.

 

This continues to be an ongoing investigation.
