KSLA News 12's Tania Francois has reported an update to the Kaylon Johnson beating investigation:
Shreveport police arrested Jimmy Booth, 25, of Longview Texas accusing him of second degree battery against Kaylon Johnson, 32.
Police say Booth and three friends were in Shreveport partying and on their way back home, stopped at the Citgo on I-20 and the Bert Kouns Industrial Look exit where the altercation took place.
Johnson, a volunteer worker for the Barack Obama campaign, suffered a broken nose, broken tear duct and broken eye socket. He says racial slurs were launched against him and President Elect Barack Obama.
Booth didn't appear to have a scratch on him when he was escorted into the jail by two Shreveport police detectives.
Booth is being held on a $50,000 bond. If convicted he faces a maximum of 5 years in prison and a $2000 fine.
The FBI's investigation is still underway.

A family member tells me Kaylon has not undergone surgery yet, but will soon. As always, keep him in your prayers.
