Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre and Lockport Chief of Police David Harrelson announced the arrest of three men for several burglaries at a self-storage facility and a theft at a Lockport residence. Jessie Lemaire (age 34), Jason Landry Sr. (age 48), and his son, Jason Landry Jr. (age 25), all of Lockport, each face charges in the cases.
On Monday, October 23, deputies responded to a complaint at a self-storage facility in Lockport. Upon arrival, deputies learned locks to several storage units had been cut.
