SHREVEPORT, La. A Shreveport man with a long history of domestic violence pleaded guilty in Caddo District Court this week and must serve a decade behind bars.
Caddo District Judge Chris Victory handed down the 10-year term for a fourth-offense domestic battery to Jevorish Dewayne Dennis, 32, who admitted the abuse Monday in Victory s court.
Dennis was arrested after Shreveport police responded to a 911 call at a local motel and found the victim distraught and covered in mud. She said Dennis, her husband of two years, had hit her with a stick, punched her in the jaw, threw her to the ground and strangled her.
