The NOPD has obtained an arrest warrant for Hermisha Curtis (DOB: 10-09-1991) on multiple charges in the investigation of an aggravated assault incident on July 5, 2019 in the 2900 block of General DeGaulle Drive.

Through investigation, NOPD Fourth District detectives learned that at about 3:48 p.m., a female subject later identified as Curtis reportedly entered a Family Dollar store from which she had been previously banned for shoplifting.

While armed, Curtis allegedly threatened to kill another store employee. Curtis then reportedly exited the store and used the knife to puncture two tires on the victim’s vehicle.

When located, Curtis will be arrested for aggravated assault, simple battery, criminal trespass, and simple criminal damage to property.
