On March 27, 2025, Deputies responded to the 1000 Blk. of Old Park Rd. located in the unincorporated portion of Evangeline Parish, in reference to chickens being stolen from a secured chicken coop.  During the investigation, it was discovered that suspect Brannon Buller W/M DOB 03/10/1992 was identified as the suspect through video surveillance.
