Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Craig Webre announced one student has been charged in an ongoing investigation into an incident involving students at Sixth Ward Middle School. A male student has been charged with sharing explicit photos of other students created by artificial intelligence.

On August 26, 2025, detectives opened an investigation in conjunction with the school administrative staff after some male students had reportedly shared fake nude photos of female students on a school bus and at school. This led to an altercation on a school bus involving one of the male students and one of the female students. On September 15, 2025, detectives charged one of the male students with ten counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence (R.S. 14:73.14). The investigation is continuing, and additional arrests/charges are possible.

Sheriff Webre stated, “After the incident was publicized at last week’s meeting of the Lafourche Parish School Board, we have decided to provide an update to this ongoing investigation. These types of investigations, which involve technology and social media platforms, can take many weeks or even months to attain and investigate digital evidence. Our detectives are focused on completing a thorough investigation to ensure accountability of those involved.”

Sheriff Webre stated the female student involved in the altercation on the school bus will not face criminal charges. “Due to the totality of the circumstances, we chose not to pursue charges on the female student,” said Sheriff Webre. “While the ability to alter images has been available for decades, the rise of A.I. has made it easier for anyone to alter or create such images with little to no training or experience. This incident highlights a serious concern that all parents should address with their children.”

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre and Golden Meadow Chief of Police Michelle Lafont announced the arrest of an 18-year-old for the attempted murder of two relatives. Airron Billiot, 18, of Galliano, was arrested Tuesday night following a stabbing incident at a Golden Meadow residence.

At around 10:20 p.m. on November 4, 2025, LPSO deputies and officers with the Golden Meadow Police Department responded to a domestic incident at a residence on North 2nd Street. Billiot was reportedly armed with a knife and was attacking family members. When officers arrived, they located Billiot, who surrendered and was immediately taken into custody. They found two women – one in her 60s and one in her 30s – who each had a knife wound in the neck. Both were transported to the hospital for treatment.

Through investigation, detectives learned Billiot had been involved in a disturbance with family members throughout the day. At one point, Billiot reportedly threatened to kill everyone in the house. He allegedly armed himself with a knife and struck each of the women in the neck. During questioning, Billiot admitted to his involvement.

Billiot was arrested for two counts of attempted second degree murder. He was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux. Bail is set at $500,000.

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced a Lockport man was arrested on Monday on multiple charges after holding a woman at gunpoint earlier in the day. Adam Gregoire Jr., 45, was arrested on Monday afternoon.

On the afternoon of October 27, 2025, deputies responded to a call of a woman who was reporting that a domestic incident had occurred earlier in the day. Through investigation, deputies learned Gregoire and the woman were arguing outside his residence when he grabbed her by the hair and forced her inside his home. Once inside, Gregoire reportedly grabbed the woman by her jaw and neck and began choking her. He then grabbed a pistol and pointed the gun at her head, threatening to kill her. Gregoire kept the woman at the home for several hours before finally leaving the residence that afternoon, allowing the woman to escape and contact the Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies then began searching for Gregoire and found him traveling southbound on LA 1 in the Mathews area on a motorcycle. Gregoire turned down Adams Street, and deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop. Gregoire continued to the 200 block of Adams Street before finally stopping. As a deputy approached him, Gregoire shoved the deputy, and a struggle ensued before the deputy was able to take him into custody. Deputies found Gregoire to be armed with a loaded pistol, a stun gun, and two sets of brass knuckles. Deputies also found Gregoire was a convicted felon and had two protective orders in effect, all preventing him from legally owning or possessing a firearm.

Gregoire was transported to the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux for booking. After he arrived, correctional staff conducted a more thorough search of Gregoire and found him to be in possession of suspected methamphetamine and marijuana.

Gregoire was booked on charges including domestic abuse aggravated assault, domestic abuse battery involving strangulation, false imprisonment while armed with a dangerous weapon, resisting an officer with force or violence, battery of a police officer, flight from an officer, two counts of illegal carrying of weapons, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and two counts of violation of protective orders. He was also charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, and taking contraband to a penal institution. He also had an active warrant for contempt of court. Bail is set at $241,750.

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced deputies will conduct the annual Blue Light Special patrol on Halloween to help keep trick-or-treaters safe. More than 100 deputies will patrol the streets of Lafourche Parish neighborhoods on Friday, October 31, 2025. This effort will begin at 5:30 p.m. and continue until approximately 8:30 p.m., surrounding the hours when trick-or-treating is typically most active. During the Blue Light Special patrol, deputies will patrol with overhead lights activated to remind motorists to drive slowly and exercise caution for those families who are trick-or-treating.

“We’re committed to ensuring all families in Lafourche Parish enjoy a fun and safe Halloween,” said Sheriff Webre. “Our deputies will be actively patrolling neighborhoods during trick-or-treat hours, and we ask that adults stay alert, supervise children closely, and drive slowly in areas where children are present.”

Sheriff Webre offers these safety tips for trick-or-treating:

• Remind children to walk (don’t run) on sidewalks or near the edge of the roadway.
• Avoid distractions (such as cell phones) while supervising children.
• Make your child’s costume distinguishable by using glow bracelets/sticks, reflective tape, or lights.
• Ensure your child’s costume is fire-resistant and fits properly to prevent trips and falls.
• Consider using makeup and face paint instead of masks, which can block a person’s view.
• Inspect all treats collected, and discard anything that is not sealed.
• Remind children to stay in front of residences giving out candy and NEVER enter a residence.
• Have a plan for if you and your child(ren) get separated.

Residents are encouraged to prepare their homes for trick-or-treaters. Clear sidewalks and pathways of any obstacles, and put away anything children could trip over such as hoses, toys, or yard decorations. Turn on your lights so your property is well-lit, and replace any burnt bulbs before Halloween. Secure pets so that they will not attack or frighten anyone.

Motorists are encouraged to keep travel to a minimum on Halloween night due to the high number of pedestrians on neighborhood streets. Those who must be on the roads are encouraged to drive cautiously and be alert for children as they will be excited and may move in unpredictable ways.

Deputies will also be conducting compliance checks for sex offenders on Halloween night. Sex offenders are restricted from wearing masks or handing out candy or gifts on a holiday such as Halloween. Deputies will visit sex offenders in Lafourche Parish to verify they are complying with the terms of their sentences.

Sheriff Craig Webre announced the arrest of an Alabama man who made multiple “swatting” calls to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office in August. Korey Flood Sr., 25, of Mobile was arrested and transported to Lafourche Parish last week.

In August 2025, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office received several unusual calls for service, directing deputies to a residence in the 200 block of Plymouth Street in Thibodaux. These calls involved shooting victims, drug activity, and an armed kidnapping. Deputies responded to each of these calls, determining each to be untrue.

Through an extensive investigation, detectives determined that each of the calls for service originated from an Alabama resident, identified as Flood, who was using apps and prepaid phones in some cases. Following the investigation, detectives obtained a warrant for Flood’s arrest for four counts of false communication with the intent to cause an emergency response.

Flood was arrested in Alabama and extradited to Lafourche Parish. He was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex on October 23, 2025, on the aforementioned warrants. He was released the following day after posting bond in the amount of $10,000.

“Swatting incidents like this waste valuable law enforcement resources and put both our deputies and innocent residents at unnecessary risk,” said Sheriff Webre. “We hope this case serves as an example to would-be swatters that our detectives have the skills and ability to thoroughly investigate these incidents and find those responsible.”

ABOUT SWATTING:
Swatting is false reporting an emergency to public safety agencies by a person for the intent of getting a (“SWAT team”) response to a location where no emergency exists. Often, the law enforcement response is substantial, with police confronting the unsuspecting victims at gunpoint, only to learn that there is no real emergency. Those making these calls may do so for “fun” and viewed as a prank, while other times it is used as retaliation against the victim.

Sheriff Craig Webre announced investigators have charged three inmates in an investigation into contraband being brought to the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex. Inmates Kelvin Davis, 23, David Bonds, 36, and Daquan Nash, 29, have been charged in the investigation. On Monday, a former correctional officer, Natacia Brown, 20, of Thibodaux, was arrested and terminated for her involvement.

As previously released, an investigation was launched last week after Correctional Complex administrators learned Brown had allegedly taken part in a transaction that was coordinated outside the facility, brought contraband into the complex, and provided it to an inmate. They also learned of a second incident in which she was involved in trying to bring other drugs into the facility. Brown was booked into the Correctional Complex in Thibodaux on charges including taking contraband to a penal institution, attempted taking contraband to a penal institution, and malfeasance in office. She was released on October 15 after posting bail in the amount of $150,000.

Investigators also discovered inmates Davis, Bonds, and Nash were involved in the incidents and were charged accordingly.

Davis was charged with taking contraband to a penal institution. He is currently serving a sentence for second degree murder. He is also being held on additional charges, including 11 counts of simple burglary of a motor vehicle and illegal possession of stolen things.

Bonds was being held on charges including attempted second degree murder and two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was charged with principal to taking contraband to a penal institution. His bail is now set at $700,000, and he is also being held for Louisiana Probation and Parole as a parole violator.

Nash was in jail for possession with intent to distribute heroin and methamphetamine, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia, illegal carrying of a weapon in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, resisting an officer, aggravated flight from an officer, expired driver’s license, traffic violations, and contempt of court. He was charged with attempted taking of contraband to a penal institution. His bail is now set at $2.594 million. He is also being held as a fugitive of the parishes of Assumption and Terrebonne and as a parole violator.

The investigation is continuing, and additional arrests are expected.

Sheriff Craig Webre announced the dismissal and arrest of a Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office correctional officer on Monday. Natacia Brown, 20, of Thibodaux was terminated upon her arrest.

Last week, an investigation was launched after Correctional Complex administrators learned Brown had reportedly supplied synthetic marijuana to an inmate at the facility. Investigators learned Brown had allegedly taken part in a transaction that was coordinated outside the facility, brought the contraband into the complex, and provided it to the inmate.

They also learned of a second incident in which she was involved in trying to bring other drugs into the facility on another date.

Brown was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux. She was charged with taking contraband to a penal institution, attempted taking contraband to a penal institution, and malfeasance in office. Bail is set at $150,000.
