One of the major problems resulting from Covid-19 was a change in the workforce across the country. Vermilion Sheriff Mike Couvillon says they are now able to reinstate some programs and start up some new programs.
Some programs operated or sponsored by the VPSO were temporarily halted due to staffing shortages, lack of suitable inmates for work programs, and logistical problems caused by the pandemic.
According to VPSO Sheriff Mike Couvillon, one person has been arrested following a reported armed robbery of a Circle K convenience store located on State Street in Abbeville early this morning.
During the investigation, deputies were able to gain enough evidence to obtain an arrest warrant for Marceaux for two counts of attempted first degree murder.
A man wanted by the U.S. Marshal's Office on a warrant out of Montana fled into a field in Vermilion Parish yesterday after taking a gun out of the saddlebag on his motorcycle.
