Alexandria Man Charged with Sexual Battery and Stalking

RPSO – On August 7, 2018, patrol deputies responded to a complaint of a battery of an employee at a local restaurant in Pineville.  According to the victim, the suspect, identified as Travis Wayne Sherman, 47 of Alexandria, touched the victim inappropriately while they were working their shift.

Deputies took the initial report and during the background investigation of the suspect, it was learned he was a registered sex offender.  Detectives from the Kolin Sheriff’s Station conducted their investigation and through that investigation, they were able to establish probable cause that supported the original allegations.
