Lake Charles, Louisiana - On February 10th, around 1:30 p.m., deputies from the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office were sent to a restaurant located on Enterprise Boulevard in Lake Charles, Louisiana after receiving a report about a weapons complaint.

At the beginning of the investigation, detectives were informed that there was a heated argument between two people in the parking lot. This argument carried on into the restaurant's lobby. The detectives later discovered that one of the individuals involved, Seth J. Warrior, 49, from Houston, Texas, left the restaurant and then came back with a gun. He allegedly confronted the other person and pointed the gun at him before leaving the area.

Judge Tony Fazzio issued a warrant for Warrior's arrest on February 14 after conducting a more thorough investigation. Warrior was apprehended the next day, taken into custody, and processed at the Calcasieu Correctional Center. He is facing charges of aggravated assault with a firearm and his bond has been established at $60,000.

CPSO Deputy Antonio Hagans is the deputy responsible for making the arrest in this case. CPSO Detective Allen Cormier is the primary investigator in charge of this case.

An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
