FBI investigating firm co-owned by Jefferson Sheriff Newell Normand.

Federal investigators are probing an arrangement through which a firm owned by Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand and his top lieutenant earns tens of thousands of dollars each year from the sale of food and other items by an offshore supplier to Harvey Gulf International Marine, a large oilfield-transport company run by politically active businessman Shane Guidry, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation.
On his most recent state financial disclosure form, from 2015, Normand reported earnings of between $25,000 and $100,000 from the firm -- called CTNN Enterprise LLC, apparently an amalgamation of his initials and those of his chief deputy, Craig Taffaro.
Normand has reported similar earnings every year starting in 2008.
The sources said authorities appear to be trying to determine what work Normand and Taffaro perform in connection with the arrangement, and whether any of the people paying them has received any official favors in return.

Yea he seems like a terrible person. I try not to judge prior go knowing the facts but he'd be one of the less shocking guys to be involved in shadiness

Wow! Serious political fallout in JP if true and substantial.

Harry Lee was basically untouchable and one of the most powerful guys in La. Norman must have thought that it applied to him as well

I have been told by a reliable source that Newell Norman does not carry a gun because he has anger management issues.
Seems kind of weird for a sheriff.

The ego is unreal. Every morning he holds court at Royal Blend with this self styled cabal of Metairie businessmen, which is pretty well known. I'm not sure why Normand thinks that's part of his job description but the whole scene reeks.

He must think his last name is Tufaro.

Why not? People forget that in LA the Sheriff is a politician first and a lawman second. Not saying it is right, just the way it is.

I thought Fortunato was his second in command.

Nothing is necessarily wrong about it unless it leads to impropriety. See above.

This is a different Craig Taffaro. This one is the Chief Deputy of the JPSO patrol division.

Fortunato is just the public information officer.

Meh.
He's reporting the income, so it's not like he's trying to hide anything.
I'm not a fan of camera-seeking, microphone-loving public officials, but that doesn't mean he's automatically corrupt.

That's a different Craig Taffaro. The JP Taffaro was NEVER the St. Bernard parish president.
