Staff
A Bayou Blue man was arrested Friday evening after leading deputies on a chase in a stolen car, authorities said.
Jules Daigle III, 42, is charged with aggravated flight from an officer, illegal possession of stolen things, driving with a switched license plate and contempt of court, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office said.
As a deputy was patrolling La. 182 in Raceland he saw a white car that matched the description of a stolen vehicle in a case he had investigated in September, authorities said. The deputy learned the suspect’s license plate had been switched from another vehicle.

Deep in south Louisiana, a state that bills itself as Sportsman’s Paradise, Valerie Martinez-Jordan readily admits that “we like our guns down here.”
That doesn’t stop Martinez-Jordan, a lieutenant with the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, from taking guns from the hands of domestic abusers in this rural corner of the state.
One day it was two. One week it was 10. In one instance, a man told the judge he had only three guns. Instead, the department confiscated 22.
