“He'd been arrested multiple times, at least eight times, over the last few years with the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office,” said Chief Deputy Bobby Webre with the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office. “Of course, the US Marshal's Office had warrants on him and he was wanted for probation violation. We know he served federal time and he served time in our jail, so he's going tonight to where he needs to be and that's the Ascension Parish Jail.”
