Reports are out that a deputy of the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office took his own life while in his unit parked outside of the department on February 1, 2021.
The recognition stems from the group's selfless service and recovery of a crucifix from Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church following Hurricane Laura.
Authorities in Lafayette are looking for help in locating a stolen bulldozer. The large machine was last seen off Ambassador Caffery Pkwy in mid-December.
