Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced a Labadieville man arrested for theft and burglary last month now faces additional charges in a separate investigation. Terry Hebert Jr., 37, was arrested on Wednesday for exploitation of the infirm and contractor fraud.

Hebert was arrested in March 2025 after admitting to breaking into a Thibodaux business, taking control of a forklift, and loading large bearings onto his truck. He later sold the bearings to a scrap dealer for over $9,000. He was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex on charges of felony theft and simple burglary on March 14, 2025. He was released the next day after posting bail in the amount of $100,000.

Three weeks later, detectives began investigating a complaint of contractor fraud involving an elderly Thibodaux resident. Detectives learned the resident had hired Hebert’s company, Lil T’s Handyman LLC, to remove and replace her roof at a cost of over $30,000. Detectives learned the resident had already made payments totaling $25,000 to Hebert, but Terry had only completed a minimal amount of work. Further investigation revealed Hebert did not have a parish permit nor was his business licensed with the state as required for projects over $7,500. Detectives then obtained a warrant for his arrest.

On Tuesday, April 15, Hebert was arrested again. He was booked into the Correctional Complex on the warrant for residential contractor fraud and exploitation of the infirm. He was released after posting $50,000 bail and was placed on electronic monitoring.

Anyone who hired Hebert or Lil T’s Handyman LLC, and the work was not properly completed, should contact the Lafourche Parish Criminal Investigations Division at (985) 532-4320.

Sheriff Webre is urging citizens to perform due diligence when it comes to hiring contractors. Any contractor working in Lafourche Parish must have a Lafourche Parish occupational license, and a permit must be obtained for all work performed. Citizens should check references and ensure the contractor is licensed, bonded and insured. Projects over $7,500 also require a state contractor’s license which can be verified on the Louisiana State Licensing Board website: LSLBC.gov. Citizens who use unlicensed or uninsured contractors do so at their own risk of liability, without any warranty, and may not have recourse for substandard work.
