Evicted tenant arrested for attacking cleaners

At the point when a father and his child returned Wednesday evening to the Lafayette loft from which the father had been ousted not long ago, they discovered two other men expelling property from the unit.

Suspecting that their own paraphernalia were being stolen, the previous inhabitant and his child assaulted the two men, as per Lafayette police Sgt. Jeromy Rainey.

The child, 32-year-old Linzy Carl Clark, purportedly pulled a blade and cut one man’s hand.

His dad, 55-year-old Linzy Carl Motton, purportedly perpetrated substantial harm without a weapon.

Rainey said one of the exploited people shielded himself with a hatchet handle recovered from his vehicle amid the battle, which was accounted for around 1 p.m. in the 500 square of Central Avenue.

All things considered, the dark tote the two men were expelling from the loft didn’t contain anything having a place with the previous inhabitant.

It contained cleaning supplies, which the men had been utilizing as a part of the unit at the proprietor’s appeal, Rainey said.

Clark was set up for Tippecanoe County Jail on battery by method for a destructive weapon. He’s being held in lieu of $5,000 surety in addition to $500 money security.

Motton, who faces an assertion of battery bringing about substantial damage, is being hung on $250 money security.

No formal charges had been documented as of Thursday morning.

Motton owes about $4,000 to the landowner, who had issued him until 6 p.m. April 13 to clear the premises, as indicated by Tippecanoe Superior Court 4 records.

The victimized people declined restorative treatment at the scene, Rainey said.
