New Iberia Man Arrested After Threatening Victim With Stolen Gun
Iberia Parish Sheriff's deputies were called out to restaurant on Center Street in New Iberia after a disturbance there.
The victim, an employee of the business, says the suspect came into the business and started a disturbance about a food order.

Investigators say the gun Meyer allegedly showed to the worker was stolen.
Meyer has been charged with:
