On Friday night, March 7, Irving Police officers responded to a mobile home in the 3700 block of W. Pioneer Dr. for a reported assault.
Upon arrival, officers found 75-year-old Pamela Little with visible injuries. The suspect, identified as 55-year-old Susanne Lavonne Rocheleau, was taken into custody. Police confirmed that Rocheleau and Little are in a dating relationship and live together in the same home.
Rocheleau was charged with Injury to an Elderly Person, a third-degree felony. She also had two open warrants from the Dallas City Marshal’s Office for Possession of Alcohol in a Vehicle and Public Intoxication.
Rocheleau has a history of violence involving Little. On June 7, 2024, Rocheleau was arrested and charged for striking Little with her hand; that case is still pending. On March 28, 2024, she was arrested on drug charges after being found with methamphetamine near Lady Bird Johnson Middle School.
In December 2017, Rocheleau was arrested for assaulting Little by striking her with her hand and pushing her. The case was dismissed by the Dallas District Attorney’s Office. In 2020, Rocheleau was arrested again for assaulting Little by striking her with her hand and a refrigerator door.That case was also dismissed.
Rocheleau was booked into the Irving Jail at 8:54 p.m. on March 7. She was later transferred to the Dallas County Jail, where she remains incarcerated with bond denied.
