Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced seven individuals were charged with DWI offenses from Friday, March 17 through Sunday, March 19. Of those, one was charged with a third DWI offense, two were charged with a second offense, and four were charged with their first offense.

At around 1:45 a.m. on Saturday, March 18, deputies patrolling near the 2000 block of LA Highway 3185 in Thibodaux initiated a traffic stop and identified the driver as Benjamin Thibodeaux (age 34) of Thibodaux. Because he was exhibiting signs of possible impairment, deputies conducted a field sobriety test on which Thibodeaux performed poorly. He submitted to a breathalyzer test which showed him to have a blood alcohol level of 0.162g%. He was arrested and transported to the Lafourche Parish Detention Center in Thibodaux where he was booked with DWI (3rd Offense) and Careless Operation of a Motor Vehicle.
