Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced the arrest of Christopher Grant, 29, of Galliano on June 27, 2019.

At around 3 p.m. on Wednesday, June 26, a man was traveling on a bicycle along LA Highway 3162 in Cut Off when another man, later identified as Christopher Grant, emerged from a vehicle in a driveway and began arguing with him. The man said that during the argument, Grant threatened to shoot him. The man also claimed that Grant showed him a handgun tucked into his pants. At that time, the man flagged down a deputy who was passing by to report the incident, and Grant quickly ran into the nearby residence.

Grant had an active warrant for his arrest. Additional deputies responded to the residence. Grant exited the residence and was taken into custody. He was not found to have any weapon on his person.
