MINDEN— The Webster Assistant District Attorney Sherb Sentell resigned Friday.

Officials say Sentell was arrested last week on charges of domestic abuse and battery and public intimidation after physicially assulting his wife at the Horshoe Casino October 3rd in Bossier City.

The public intimidation charge comes from Sentell threatening two officer's jobs.

Bossier City attorney H. Lyn Lawrence is representing Sentell. Lawrence plans to call a news conference today to allow Sentell and his wife Julie to release statements.
