Police: Dupas Turns Himself In

The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office has reported that Leotha Dupas turned himself in to police around midnight on December 5, 2007.

Deputies say that Dupas went on the run on Saturday, December 1, 2007 after he burned and stabbed his former girlfriend.  Cops tell us that Dupas went to the woman's home with the hopes of a reconciliation, but when things didn't go his way, deputies say he grabbed a steam iron that was already plugged in and burned the woman's chest, hands, back and face.  They say he then stabbed her several times with a kitchen knife.  Luckily, the woman survived. 

Police say Dupas had left the state of Louisiana, but felt tremendous pressure to turn himself in. He called the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office and agreed to meet them at a local worship center. Deputies say the surrender was peaceful.
