Hours after his father was sworn in as the new chief of New Orleans Police Department, 21-year-old Shane Ferguson punched a woman in her chin and spit in her face at a home in Algiers Friday night (Jan. 18), according to a police report.

Shane Ferguson, son of new Superintendent Shaun Ferguson, was booked with domestic abuse battery Tuesday (Jan. 22), according to jail records. According to the police report, Shane Ferguson and the woman were in an argument in the 2500 block of Hudson Place around 11:45 p.m. when he spit in her face. After the woman spit back, he struck her in the left side of her chin with a closed fist. Shane Ferguson tried to punch her again, but she fell to the ground, police said. The woman’s friend then sprayed Shane Ferguson with mace and he fled south on Hudson Place and then in an unknown direction, according to the report.

“While this is a family matter, Chief Ferguson wants to be clear that the NOPD will conduct a proper and complete investigation just like we do in every case,” NOPD spokesman Andy Cunningham said in a statement Tuesday.
