GONZALES - A Gonzales Police corporal was arrested for battery in Ascension Parish after punching a sheriff's deputy. 

Ascension Parish jail rosters say Cpl. Brent Amy was booked on Monday at 3 p.m. for second-degree battery. 

Sheriff Bobby Weber said Amy got into a fight with an APSO deputy last week. 

In 2021, WBRZ reported that Amy was arrested for a DWI after running into a utility pole while driving under the influence in his personal vehicle. 

WBRZ has reached out to Gonzales Police Chief Sherman Jackson and has not heard back.
