Sheriff Naquin Exits
After serving 15 years in office, St. Mary Parish Sheriff David Naquin (NOCK'-kahn) says he will retire in July.
In a statement released Tuesday, Naquin said he first began contemplating retirement after he collapsed from dehydration and exhaustion while helping clear a roadway of debris in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav in 2008.
Naquin was first elected in 1995. He has served four terms.
