Lucien Hall to serve six months for domestic battery

A Shreveport man who strangled his wife was sentenced to the maximum term possible under state law for first-offense domestic abuse battery Thursday, November 5, 2026, in Caddo District Court.

Lucien Hall, 44, was sentenced to six months in the parish jail, and ordered to pay a $300 fine and court costs by District Judge Donald E. Hathaway Jr.

The battery occurred February 21, 2024, when police responded to a residence in Shreveport where Hall's then-wife reported a domestic incident, where he confronted her, then punched and shoved her. In the back bedroom, he pinned her head down while her neck was on an object. This constricted her airway, causing bruising and lacerations.  The victim managed to get up and Hall fled.  

Hall was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Stephen Folk-Cruthirds and Courtney N. Ray. The Caddo Public Defender's office represented him. 

The case was docket No. 406828.
