A couple wanted suspects were arrested this week in Lafourche Parish.


Sheriff Craig Webre said this week that deputies with the parish’s Problem-Oriented-Policing (POP) Squad were attempting to locate Omri Rabon, 25, of Galliano, with the assistance of K-9 deputies.

Rabon was wanted in connection with a vehicle burglary in late February in Golden Meadow.

Golden Meadow Police said a woman’s purse was stolen in the incident and fraudulent charges were then allegedly made on her credit card.


Authorities started an investigation into the case, which netted the arrest of Brent Terrebonne, 46, of Golden Meadow and Geoffrey Galliano, 31, of Larose.

Terrebonne was charged with simple burglary and 10 counts of unauthorized use of an access card.

Galliano was charged with simple burglary of a motor vehicle.


Through continued investigation, authorities also identified Rabon as a third suspect in the case, and authorities obtained a warrant for his arrest.

Through the help of an anonymous tip, the suspect was taken into custody this week.

Deputies proceeded to a residence on West 152nd Street in Galliano, where they believed Rabon to be, per the tipster.


While there, authorities said they found Rabon hiding in a closet, taking him into immediate custody without incident.

Authorities also said they located Janie Cheramie, 33, of Cut Off, on the scene. She was allegedly hiding in the attic of the residence at the time the authorities arrived. She was taken into custody, as well, because of an active warrant for a probation violation.

Through investigation and questioning of Rabon, authorities were also able to link the suspect to a residential burglary which was reported last Monday at a residence on West Main Street in Cut Off.


During questioning, authorities said Rabon started to shake. He then allegedly told authorities that he swallowed a bag of suspected methamphetamine prior to his arrest.

The suspect was taken to a local hospital by ambulance where he remains in stable condition at press-time, according to a news release issued by the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Upon his relese from the hospital, the suspect will be booked in the Lafourche Parish Detention Center on charges of simple burglary of an immovable structure, simple burglary of a motor vehicle and five counts of unauthorized use of an access card.


Detectives in the case said that the investigation into Rabon continues. They said that the suspect may face more charges as information comes to light.
