On August 8, 2022, the Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office investigations division assisted the FBI in located a wanted fugitive facing federal charges unrelated to Evangeline Parish.  The FBI was able to obtain information that the suspect was living inside the city limits of Ville Platte Louisiana.  The suspect was identified as Lee Larnette.  The suspect was later located and arrested for the fugitive warrant.  He was booked into the Evangeline Parish Jail with a FBI hold and has since been extradited to federal facility.   As always, all suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
