Sheriff Leland Falcon reported this arrest:
--Lacey Jane Marie Fabre, 31, Elaine Street, Bayou L’Ourse, was arrested Monday on a charge of accessory after the fact.
Deputies determined that on May 27, Fabre was in a relationship with an individual identified as Drake Joseph Geisler, 29, Velma Court, Bayou L’Ourse. Geisler is wanted on charges of felony simple criminal damage to property and flight from an officer arising from an incident at a Bayou L’Ourse recreation facility May 18.
Detectives believe that Fabre was aware of the outstanding warrants for the arrest of Geisler and knew where he was, although she denied having such knowledge.
On Monday, a uniformed patrol officer observed Fabre and Geisler walking along La. 662 in Bayou L’Ourse. The deputy attempted to make contact with both subjects.
Geisler fled on foot into a wooded area. Fabre was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center. She remains in jail with bond set at $25,000.
Geisler is wanted by the Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office on the two charges.
