This is actually a huge no no. Some citizen wrecks a parish vehicle and we all pay.

Im assuming he ( Saurage) was sober.
At least a drunk person wasn't driving.

You can’t be serious.

Not at all. 
We really need a sarcasm font.

Would be interesting to see what credit card was used to pay the tab.

This is a great point actually. We have all kinds of restrictions on what Fed Gov employees and Military personnel can and can't accept (like meals and bar tabs) yet it seems there are no rules at the local and state level.*
Ever been in Ruth's Chris in Baton Rouge during a legislative session? You can sit and watch your elected officials being wined and dined by god knows who. Literally buying their votes. I would bet my next paycheck the Sheriff hasn't bought a meal or drink in a while.
*Before anyone says it, I know the Fed level people abuse the shite out of the system and break the rules. I am just saying at least they have rules.

If I remember correctly from ethics training back when I was a government employee, there is a state rule. The lobbyist or contractor or whomever has to share the meal with the government employee in person, and there is a cap as to how much you can spend per government employee who is present.
Now is any of that enforced? Probably not. Unless someone goes to the ethics board with proof of a violation or something.

I think the loophole is the limit is a dollar amount per person invited.

Im now wondering what voters are thinking about the upcoming property tax renewal for the St Tammany Parish Sheriff’s office.
Is this renewal going to turn into a referendum on Randy Smith?
Are voters more worried about the deputies, jail etc than the sheriff’s recent behavior?

I, like most voters here, am strongly against any new taxes for anything. The waste and fraud are rampant country wide and it starts at your local level.
Posted on 6/14/26 at 12:36 pm to sabbertooth
There’s a ton of waste in that office, for sure. He is clearly prone to make bad decisions (which I thought before the recent incident), so I automatically question any of his professional initiatives. I currently intend to vote “no” on the tax, but if our sheriffs office was run by a competent individual I would maybe vote differently.

A grown man that prefers vodka over bourbon gives heeby geeby vibes.

Fox 8 - STPSO Chief Deputy Resigns
quote:
COVINGTON, La. (WVUE) - The second in command with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office has stepped down.
Chief Deputy Jeff Boehm submitted his resignation, which became effective Monday (June 22).
A spokesperson says that Bret Ibert will be the new chief deputy. He was previously head of Enforcement Operations, according to the office’s website.
Boehm said he determined that stepping aside at this time is in the best interest of the agency and the deputies who serve the citizens of St. Tammany Parish each day.
quote:
“It has been an honor to serve alongside the dedicated men and women of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office,” Boehm said. “This decision was not made lightly, but I believe it is the right one for the agency at this time. My priority has always been the success of this organization and the deputies who serve our community every day. I am confident they will continue to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and service, and I wish the agency nothing but success moving forward.”
The sheriff’s spokesperson said that the sheriff did not request that Boehm resign and that he made the decision on his own.

And why would he do this you ask?
Someone is digging and finding things that are not good.
I do not live there nor do I know either of them but I have seen this happen in multiple depts over the years.

Nice little pension after almost going to jail...

Former St. Tammany sheriff to collect pension of nearly $14K per month after conviction
Fox 8
quote:
COVINGTON, La. (WVUE) - Three weeks after former St Tammany Sheriff Randy Smith resigned in the face of felony assault charges, Fox 8 has learned he will draw a pension benefit of $13,892.46 a month.
Fox 8 has also learned that Smith left office with more than $941,919 in a drop retirement bank account, which he can spend at will.
Smith retired after turning himself in following an alleged assault of online blogger Bobby Couvillion at a Madisonville restaurant back in June.
Couvillion told Fox 8 the pension amount is “ridiculous,” adding that “elected officials convicted of felonies, especially top law enforcement officers, should not be allowed to benefit handsomely off the taxpayer.”
