A Franklin man was arrested by the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's office last night on charges of aggravated assault, telephone harassment and remaining where forbidden.

A deputy was called out to the victim's home in Centerville last night after the woman complained about being stalked.

The deputy learned that 36-year-old Byron Williams and the female victim were involved in an argument when the deputy says Williams allegedly attempted to run her over with a car.

The deputy was also able to listen to threatening voice and text messages the suspect is accused of leaving on the victim's phone.

Williams was found at his home and booked into the St. Mary Parish Jail.
