Louisiana authorities are looking for an Auxvasse man after demanding at gunpoint that his wife return to his home.

John Mitchell, 42, of Auxvasse and a Shreveport, La. man are both accused of home invasion after authorities say Mitchell went to a northwest Louisiana house and demanded Mitchell's wife come back to Missouri.

Cindy Chadwick, spokeswoman for the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office said the men kicked in the door of the home. The pair ran out after one of the residents shot the homeowner with a crossbow bolt, mistaking him for the attackers. The homeowner was treated and released and did not file charges for that shooting.

Mitchell and Christopher Scott Mobley, 37, of Shreveport, each have arrest warrants out, and bond will be set at $500,000 each upon their arrest.

Authorities said the attack happened on Nov. 11 in Keithville. Mitchell's wife went to the town after having problems with her husband.
