January 15, 2016
A Schriever man admitted to stealing a cash box and airsoft gun from the Thibodaux business where he worked, but not before first staging a break-in and reporting the apparent burglary.
Lafourche sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Brennan Matherne said Shawn Gaudet, 36, of Schriever, initially told deputies the business in the 2200 block of St. Mary Street had been burglarized.
Other evidence, however, suggested Gaudet was the prime suspect, Matherne said. During questioning, the Schriever man confessed to the late December burglary.
Gaudet was charged with filing a false public record and simple burglary. He was also booked on an outstanding warrant for contempt of court for a traffic violation. Bond was set at $26,100. •
