Cops are asking for help finding a man who allegedly used his teeth to rip off part of a woman's face when she attempted to get away from him after days of captivity.
"The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office is asking the public to be on the lookout for a dangerous suspect who is wanted in connection with a gruesome domestic violence case," TPSO said in a news release.
They are looking for 31-year-old Brandon Patrick.
"He's accused of biting off a portion of a female victim’s face during a domestic dispute. During the investigation, it was learned that the dispute actually began over the weekend, and the victim had been held against her will for days. The injury occurred during her escape. The victim is still hospitalized and undergoing treatment for her extensive injuries."
Investigators say Patrick is wanted for domestic abuse battery with serious bodily injury and false imprisonment. He could face additional charges.
"Patrick is an identical twin, but has several distinctive marks and tattoos to help correctly identify him, including an old stab wound on his right hand and a left arm half-sleeve of tattoos with a house and scroll. His right arm has a full sleeve of tattoos. Patrick is a convicted felon with a known local-gang affiliation and is considered dangerous."
TPSO asks anyone who knows where Patrick is, to please contact their Criminal Investigations Office at 985-902-2088.
