Sheriff: Man arrested on sex offender warrants

A 31-year-old Amelia man was arrested on sex offender warrants after deputies responded to a report of shots being fired in the area of Friendship Alley in Amelia, St. Mary Parish Sheriff Scott Anslum said in a news release.

—J.C. Ford Jr., 31, of Friendship Alley in Amelia, was arrested at 9:18 p.m. Saturday on warrants charging him with failure to provide notification as a sex offender and failure to pay annual registration fee and on charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and illegal use of weapons.

A deputy patrolling Amelia responded to the area of Friendship Alley for shots fired. The deputy made contact with Ford and found evidence that he was shooting a weapon in the area of Friendship Alley, Anslum said. Authorities say no one was hit by the gunshots, and Ford wasn’t trying to shoot someone. The deputy also learned that Ford held active sex offender warrants. Ford was jailed with no bail set.

Anslum reported that deputies responded to 116 complaints in the parish and reported the following arrests in east St. Mary Parish:

—Kenneth Perez Jr., 35, of River Road in Berwick, was arrested at 10:10 a.m. Friday on charges of driving under suspension and careless operation. A deputy patrolling Bayou Vista responded to a crash at the intersection of U.S. 90 and Southeast Boulevard.

The deputy made contact with one of the drivers, Perez. The deputy found evidence that Perez made an illegal U-turn, causing him to strike another vehicle, Anslum said. The deputy also learned that Perez was operating the vehicle with a suspended driver’s license. Perez was released on a summons to appear in court Oct. 5.

Big choices for voters in November

Mayor races await voters in Berwick and Patterson as the Nov. 6 primary election approaches.
Qualifying for the primary ended Friday. If runoffs are necessary, they’ll be Dec. 8. Nov. 6 is a Tuesday, and Dec. 8 will be the traditional Louisiana Saturday election day.
In Berwick, Mayor Louis Ratcliff is term-limited and ineligible to run for re-election. On the five-member town council, Duval Arthur, Troy Lombardo Damon Robison, Jacki Ackel and Greg Roussel either couldn't or chose not to run again for council seats.
One of the council’s term-limited members, former St. Mary Homeland Security Arthur, signed up last week to run for mayor. He’s being challenged by Jessie J. Boudreaux.
A total of 12 candidates qualified for the five open council seats in Berwick, where the council members are elected at large.
In Patterson, incumbent Mayor Rodney Grogan is being challenged by Bealizeia “Billy” Badeaux. On the five-member city council, incumbents John Rentrop, Joe Russo III, Sandra K. Turner and Travis Darnell qualified. So did challengers Lee “Pastor C” Condelle and Billy Picou. Incumbent Larry Mendoza didn’t qualify to run for re-election.
The police chief post will be open after last spring’s resignation by longtime Chief Patrick LaSalle. Three qualified to run for that job: James P. Carinhas, Garrett S. Grogan and Craig A. Verdine Sr.
The race that started early in St. Mary, the campaign to replace resigned Sheriff Mark Hebert, drew five candidates who had already made their intentions clear with signs and appearances at public events. They are Scott Anslum of Jeanerette, the former chief deputy who has served as Hebert’s interim replacement; Morgan City Mayor Frank “Boo” Grizzaffi; and current and former lawmen Lonnie LaBouve of Berwick, Blaise W. Smith of Franklin and Carl J. Thornton of Berwick.
Seven of 11 incumbent St. Mary School Board members qualified without opposition: Joseph C. Foulcard of Franklin in District 1; Kenneth E. “Kenny” Alfred of Morgan City in District 3; Pearl Barnes Rack of Franklin in District 4; Ginger S. Griffin of Patterson in District 5; Marilyn P. LaSalle of Patterson in District 6; board President Michael “Mike” Taylor of Berwick in District 8; and Roland Herman Verret of Morgan City in District 11.
Sylvia Kay Lockett of Franklin qualified alone in District 2, where Mary L. Lockley chose not to run for re-election.
Ronald Joseph of Franklin is challenging incumbent Wayne Deslatte of Centerville in District 8. In District 9, where incumbent William “Bill” McCarty isn’t running for re-election, Alaina L. Black and Christie K. Dragna, both of Morgan City, qualified.
And in District 10, Dwight D. Barbier and C.E. Bourg II, both of Morgan City, will compete to succeed Anthony Streva, who isn’t running for re-election.
In Morgan City, Steve Domangue, John M. DuBois and Jarrod J. Wiggins qualified to run for the city council seat left open when James Fontenot resigned in November.
Here’s the final list of candidates who qualified for Nov. 6 primary races that affect St. Mary. Qualifying closed at 4:30 p.m. Friday.
