NAPOLEONVILLE – Assumption Parish deputies have arrested a man accused of attempted murder after a June 1 shooting in Napoleonville.

One person sustained a "superficial wound" in the shooting, officials said.

Robert Scott Jr., 20, was later identified as a suspect in the shooting. 

Scott was arrested on Tuesday on attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of weapons charges. He was booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center on a $325,000 bond.
