Remember this classic Looney Tunes CARTOON of the bulldog trying to compute why mice don’t like cheese and want the cat to eat them but the cat prefers that he be pummeled by the dog? After running the numbers, the confused bulldog declares, “It just don’t add up!”
Well, the same declaration may be made about a 911 call on a recovered vehicle in Terrebonne Parish on Friday.
“Add up” as in why certain items were found in the recovered vehicle.
Certain items like…oh, an AR-15, a police officer’s duty belt (with handcuffs) in the trunk.
And a check stub in the vehicle with Jerry Larpenter’s name on it.
Larpenter, of course is the long-time sheriff of Terrebonne Parish.
The term “recovered” could mean one of several things: a stolen car that was recovered, a towed vehicle or even one that was repossessed. The 911 call made no distinction as to the nature of the recovery but the sequence of events following the 911 call, as well as the name of the Terrebonne Parish sheriff, raises all manner of questions.
The notification was posted on the computer-aided dispatch system (CADS) which links various law enforcement agencies, in this case, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Department, the Houma Police Department, and most likely, Louisiana State Police.
The notification, which went out at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, noted that a call was received from a Steven Boudreaux, identified as the “initial reporter,” but who said his last name was Thomas, according to the CADS computerized image.
And just as quickly, the CADS notice disappeared after the matter was transferred to the St. Mary Parish 911 system.
The vehicle’s location was given as near the intersection of Cajun Road and South Van Avenue.
LouisianaVoice called Steven Boudreaux who, other than confirming that he was not a law enforcement officer, declined to discuss the 911 call further.
He did not explain how he became involved in the “recovery” of a vehicle containing an AR-15, a police officer’s duty belt, handcuffs, and Larpenter’s paycheck stub in the vehicle. He said he was unable to discuss the subject “because it’s a legal matter.”
It just don’t add up.
