Operation No Show efforts continue

Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office Major Kevin Hanna reports the Sheriff’s Office is continuing its efforts in the parish to arrest individuals that are failing to appear in court after being arrested on felony and misdemeanor criminal charges. The ongoing initiative is “OPERATION NO SHOW.”

Persons who are arrested on criminal charges are entitled to a bond.  Upon bonding from jail the individual is given notice to be in court on a specific date.   The following individuals ignored their court date, which subsequently led to a bench warrant being issued by the court for failure to appear:

Christopher Holden, 33, of 42245 Moody Dixon Road, Prairieville, is wanted on a felony bench warrant for theft over $1,500.

Dana Bourgeois, 33, of 12073 Roddy Road, apt 5, Gonzales, is wanted on a felony bench warrant for third offense DWI, reckless operation, and driving under suspension while on prior offense.

Jeffrey Clements, 44, of 38459 Camp Drive, Prairieville, is wanted on a felony bench warrant for illegal possession of stolen things and theft.

Nicole Breaux, 40, of 11331 LA 431, St. Amant, is wanted on a felony bench warrant for illegal possession of stolen things and theft over $500.

Leroy Parms, 59, of 39240 LA 929, Prairieville, is wanted on a felony bench warrant for unauthorized use of a movable.

In an effort to reduce these felony bench warrant numbers, twice a month the Sheriff’s Office is airing a photograph and name of a person that has failed to appear in court, Major Hanna said.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office at 225-621-INFO (4636) or Crime Stoppers at 225-344-STOP (7867).
