Poplarville Police officers responded to a call and made an arrest in an aggravated assault case Sunday evening, and bond has been set for a Poplarville man charged with manslaughter.

Poplarville Police Chief Charles Fazende said Patrick Johns, 17, of Poplarville, was charged with aggravated assault after he allegedly attacked an individual at the victim’s home.

The victim answered a knock at the door and was attacked by Johns, who beat the victim up with brass knuckles and threatened the victim with a handgun, Fazende said. The police chief said the victim did not know any motive for the beating.

The victim was treated at the scene for cuts to the face and mouth.

Johns is being held without bond at the Pearl River County Jail.

He is being held at the Pearl River County Jail at Millard.
