Arrest Made Through Crimestopper Tips

In mid-July, St. Landry Crime Stoppers spokesman Deputy Chief Eddie Thibodeaux spotlighted Brian Pierre on our crime stoppers program for failure to register and notify law enforcement as a sex offender or child predator. He was also sought for not appearing for court for a previous sex offender charge.  Pierre also had pending sex offender charges for his arrest in Lafayette Parish.

Tips were received leading detectives to addresses in Opelousas and Lafayette.  Detectives working on the tips tracked down Pierre at one of the addresses but were unable to locate him.  One tip received led St. Landry detectives to request the assistance of the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office who was able to arrest Pierre using the information on the tip.   Pierre was transported to the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center for processing then transferred to the St. Landry Parish Jail for booking.
