A Hosston man wanted for strangling his girlfriend was located by Caddo sheriff's patrol deputies on Monday and booked into the parish jail, said Caddo Parish Steve Prator.

Bradley Christopher Linn, 27, was located in Hosston while driving in a vehicle with the victim. He was arrested by Deputy Jeremy Bergren on a warrant for aggravated battery.

The victim reported that she was strangled until she lost consciousness, poked with a knife several times, struck in the back of the head and held against her will by Linn, her live-in boyfriend. The incident took place over several hours on Friday, June 18, after an argument between the two. The victim also stated Linn broke her phone to keep her from calling 911.

Linn left the home after the incident. He was not there and could not be located by deputies when the victim reported the incident on Saturday.

A warrant for aggravated battery under the Domestic Violence Act was obtained by Detective Donnie Laney on Monday. There was no bond set on the warrant.
