A coordinated law enforcement effort in Claiborne Parish has resulted in the arrest of a Homer man facing warrants from both Louisiana and Texas authorities.

According to a news release from the Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office, deputies, along with members of the United States Marshals Service Violent Offender Task Force based in Shreveport, served multiple arrest warrants on February 18, 2026, at a residence on Burns Road in Homer.

The warrants included a Pre-Revocation Warrant (Fugitive) from the state of Texas and local warrants issued by CPSO for Aggravated Battery and Second Degree Battery.

Authorities took Darren C. Burns into custody without incident. He was transported later that same day to the Claiborne Parish Detention Center, where he was booked and remains incarcerated.

Claiborne Parish Sheriff Sam Dowies expressed appreciation for the work of his deputies and the assistance provided by the United States Marshals Task Force. Sheriff Dowies noted that partnerships with outside agencies enhance public safety and help make Claiborne Parish a safer community.
