Baton Rouge police arrested a man Friday accused of forcing his way into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment Feb. 5, slapping her several times and holding her at gunpoint against her will, an affidavit warrant says.
Police booked Theopolies J. Darson, 21, 209 Taft St., Baton Rouge, into Parish Prison on counts of home invasion, false imprisonment with a dangerous weapon and simple battery, the warrant says.

When a neighbor came outside and observed the incident, Darson let go of the victim, the warrant says.
