Sheriff Craig Webre announced the arrest of Austin Tardo (age 19) of Thibodaux and Josie Foret (age 26) of Raceland for stealing firearms from a residence. On Thursday, January 7, deputies responded to a theft complaint at a Raceland residence. The victim discovered firearms, cash and other items were missing from the residence. Through investigation, deputies learned a Josie Foret was spotted near the residence recently along with an unknown male subject. Foret, with whom the victim is familiar, had a key to the residence, but she had not been there in some time to the victim’s knowledge.

Both were placed under arrest for two counts of Felony Theft of a Firearm and transported to the Lafourche Parish Detention Center in Thibodaux.
