An Oakdale Police Department officer has been arrested after detectives accused him of attempting to plant drugs on an unsuspecting person and trying to coerce a victim into sexual activity, state police say.
Jalen Melbert, 33, of Oakdale, was arrested Monday afternoon and booked into the Allen Parish Jail on charges of abuse of office and malfeasance in office, according to Louisiana State Police.

According to detectives, Melbert attempted to use his position as an officer to influence a victim to engage in sexual activity with him.
In a separate incident, investigators say Melbert worked with another person to plant illegal narcotics at a residence, which led to the arrest of an innocent person.

The other half of the force got caught up in some kind of scandal with a Patel a while back.

Every small town deputy sheriff i know has been offered sex by young ladies (usually from good families) for letting them off on drugs charges. Probably happens much less now with body cams.

He’s literally a small town policeman.

Didn’t Oakdale get in the news not too long ago for helping some jeet make false police reports so he could get his immigration status fast tracked?

Four Former Oakdale-Area Law Enforcement Leaders and One Business Owner Plead Guilty to Falsifying Police Reports and Bribery to Perpetrate Decade-Long Visa Fraud Conspiracy
quote:
On June 30, 2026, Glynn Dixon, 62, of Forest Hill, pled guilty in federal court for his role in a decade-long scheme involving bribery and a conspiracy to commit visa fraud and mail fraud after his four co-conspirators, Chandrakant Patel, 40, of Oakdale, Chad Doyle, 55, of Oakdale, Michael Slaney, 64, of Oakdale, and Tebo Onishea, 38, of Glenmora, each pled guilty to the same in recent weeks. The defendants were originally indicted on July 2, 2025. Dixon, Doyle, Onishea, and Slaney each face up to 5 years in prison. Patel faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
At the time of the offenses, four of the defendants were serving in high-profile law enforcement positions: Doyle as Oakdale Chief of Police; Slaney as Oakdale Marshal for Ward 5; Dixon as Forest Hill Chief of Police; and Onishea as Glenmora Chief of Police. Patel was a business owner.
