PRIOR RELEASE: 


Sheriff Tim Soignet states that members of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office GANG UNIT have made several arrests in connection with a violent street gang in Terrebonne Parish.  Sheriff Soignet advised that as Uniform Commander with the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office he began seeing firsthand that multiple shootings involved the same group of individuals.  Shortly after taking office as Sheriff of Terrebonne Parish, Sheriff Soignet assisted Deputies and Detectives with investigating a shooting that occurred during a busy time of the day at Sonic on July 19, 2020.  After this shooting, Sheriff Soignet ordered that a GANG UNIT be formed with members of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau and Narcotics Division to address this spike in violence.  This GANG UNIT allowed for members of the two divisions to work solely on the growing GANG problem in Terrebonne Parish and hit it head on to stop the violence and illegal narcotics sales.  Sheriff Soignet says that “these individuals chose to tell their story through violence in broad day light”.
