**MARRERO, La. (WVUE) -** Devon Lucie, the chief meteorologist for WDSU 6 News, was arrested early Sunday morning in Marrero, Louisiana, following a domestic disturbance. Lucie, 48, was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center on charges of domestic abuse battery with child endangerment, a felony under Gwen’s Law, and resisting an officer by refusing to identify, a misdemeanor.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a residence at 1:22 a.m. on Oct. 5, after receiving a disturbance complaint. According to preliminary reports, a woman at the scene, identified as Lucie’s dating partner of four years, told deputies she had been physically assaulted.
The woman reported that an argument that began at a festival in Gretna escalated after they returned to their shared home. She stated that she had to pry open the door because she did not have her key and once inside, Lucie allegedly entered the bedroom and punched her multiple times. A physical altercation ensued, with the woman claiming she acted in self-defense.
Deputies observed several small cuts, scratches, and welts on the woman’s upper body, forehead, and face. She also informed deputies that her two children were sleeping on a sofa in the living room during the alleged assault.
Lucie reportedly refused to provide his name, date of birth, or put on clothing when questioned by deputies. He was medically cleared by WJMC EMS before being read his rights and transported to the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center.
Lucie, originally from Macomb, Illinois, has worked in several major media markets, including Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., and Denver.
WDSU has released a statement indicating that Lucie has been placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
