ST. MARTINVILLE — St. Martinville Mayor Pro Tem Craig Prosper made a first appearance in the Orleans Parish Magistrate Court Friday after being jailed on a domestic abuse battery charge following the New Orleans Saints game Thursday at the Caesars Superdome.

Prosper paid the $100 bond fee during the video conference, according to court records. According to Fox 8 WVUE in New Orleans, the arrest stemmed around an alleged incident where a woman told New Orleans police she had been pushed by Prosper and that he had “grabbed her with both hands by the neck and squeezed.”

The woman reportedly told authorities she did not lose consciousness during the altercation but added that Prosper intimidates, threatens or assaults her “a lot” but had never been frightened or injured by him, according to Fox 8.

No domestic order was issued at the hearing, as there was no victim information, according to court records. The next hearing is set for Jan. 17.
