A $50,000.00 settlement was agreed to by our client and his family against the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies who beat him and stole thousands of dollars from him, before calling Homeland Security to detain and arrest him to cover up the theft. As a result of the cover up arrest, his daughter was sent to foster care while he was detained for several weeks.
Undeterred, once finally released from federal custody, our client walked in to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office and filed a complaint against the officers, only one of which was terminated.
Though the case settled, the stolen money has never been returned, and the officers were never arrested, indicted, nor faced legal consequences for the theft and criminal misconduct.
