Denham Springs Woman Arrested In Jan. 2 Death

The state Attorney General's Office says its Fugitive Apprehension Unit and federal marshals have arrested a 21-year-old woman in connection with the shooting death of a Bridge City man earlier this month.

Theodore Pierce was found dead at a Bridge City intersection on Jan. 2.

Chasity Griffin of Denham Springs has been booked with second-degree murder and with being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to a Wednesday news release from the Attorney General's Office.

The arrest follows a criminal investigation by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
