After two unsuccessful attempts to catch a Baton Rouge man, sheriff’s deputies on Wednesday finally arrested the 31-year-old accused of beating his girlfriend with a stick and dragging her from a car about a month ago.Phillip Leroy Mack Jr. twice escaped deputies, fleeing into the woods behind his Zachary workplace to elude them on each occasion, according to Sheriff’s Office reports.On Wednesday, though, Mack was caught, booked into the Parish Prison on counts of aggravated battery and resisting arrest.It wasn’t immediately clear how deputies arrested him, but the Sheriff’s Office reports detail how he eluded them and why they were searching for him.

This is where I get confused on the writing of this story.

On May 5, Mack’s girlfriend went to her husband’s workplace, Great States Galvanizing, a trucking company on Salvant Road, looking to obtain a credit card from him. They were about to move in together, she told deputies, and she planned on doing some shopping.

So is this guy his alleged girlfriend's sidepiece?
