Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced a man was arrested after trying to evade a traffic stop due to drugs in his possession. Blake Guidry, 35, of Galliano faces several charges in the incident.

At around 11:45 p.m. on February 7, 2023, deputies traveling on LA 1 in Golden Meadow observed a car without a license plate. As the driver, later identified as Guidry, turned on West 217th Street, deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop. Guidry refused to stop and sped toward LA Highway 3235. Guidry turned on LA 3235, traveling northbound at a high rate of speed. During this time, Guidry was tossing clear plastic bags out of the car. Deputies later recovered these bags found to contain suspected methamphetamine. Guidry eventually drove back to LA 1 and began driving southbound. At one point, Guidry appeared to lose control of his vehicle and drove the car into Bayou Lafourche.

Guidry eventually swam to shore and was taken into custody. Guidry was examined at a local hospital and then released to deputies’ custody. Deputies recovered Guidry’s vehicle from the bayou and located a bag of suspected marijuana inside the car. Guidry was also found to have a suspended driver’s license.

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced one man is in custody in connection with several thefts and burglaries in the Thibodaux area. Jamyren Caffery, 18, of Marrero is in custody in New Orleans and faces charges in Lafourche Parish.

On the morning of January 30, 2023, deputies and detectives responded to the Thibodaux area due to three calls of vehicles having been stolen. Two SUVs were stolen, one from Kettle Drive and the other from Laverne Drive. A truck had also been stolen from Millstone Drive. Detectives were also investigating several burglaries and thefts in the Thibodaux area as well.

On Monday night, officers with the New Orleans Police Department located one of the stolen SUVs and took four individuals into custody. Lafourche Parish detectives arrived in New Orleans a short time later to assist with the investigation. Detectives then obtained an arrest warrant for one of those individuals arrested by NOPD – Jamyron Caffery. Caffery remains in the custody of New Orleans Police due to charges in that jurisdiction, but in Lafourche Parish, he will ultimately be charged with nine counts of burglary, three counts of theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of theft of a firearm, and one count of felony theft.

The investigation into these crimes in Thibodaux is continuing, and additional arrests are possible.

Most cases of vehicle burglaries in Lafourche Parish occur when a vehicle is left unlocked. Similarly, many cases of vehicle theft occur when vehicles are locked with keys left inside. Sheriff Webre is strongly urging everyone to assist in keeping communities safe by always securing vehicles and never leaving keys or valuables inside – especially not in plain sight.

“These thieves are extremely mobile, hitting several cars in a single neighborhood in just minutes,” said Sheriff Webre. “They prey upon trustworthy people in safe communities hoping they leave their guard down. I encourage everyone when leaving their vehicle at any time, to be sure it is locked with no keys or valuables inside. Criminals are looking for easy targets, and the best way to protect yourself is to make it more difficult for thieves to steal from you.”

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced a Larose man has been charged with murder in connection to a teenage girl who died from an overdose in October 2022. Blayne Terrebonne, 19, is charged with second degree murder. He had previously been arrested for drug distribution in the investigation.

Shortly before 4:30 a.m. on October 27, 2022, deputies responded to a Galliano residence in reference to a 16-year-old male showing signs of a possible overdose. After being given two doses of Narcan, the boy regained consciousness and was transported to a hospital for further treatment. Less than three hours later, deputies responded to a call at another Galliano residence where a 15-year-old girl was found dead of a suspected drug overdose.

Investigators quickly determined the two incidents were related, and they arrested Terrebonne later that day. Detectives later arrested Sergio Perez, 18, of Cut Off, and Anthony Francis, 21, of Larose in connection with the case. All were charged with drug distribution. Perez remains at the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex, but Terrebonne and Francis were released on bail in November 2022.

Investigators learned the girl had purchased what she thought was a Percocet pill from Terrebonne the night prior to her death. Investigators learned the pill was actually pressed from pure fentanyl. An autopsy conducted by the Lafourche Parish Coroner’s Office determined the cause of her death to be a drug overdose. A toxicology report later showed she had a high level of fentanyl in her blood at the time of her death. After receiving these results, detectives obtained a warrant for Terrebonne’s arrest for second degree murder.

On January 25, 2023, investigators located Terrebonne and placed him under arrest. He was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex on a warrant for one count of second degree murder. Bail is set at $500,000.
