Sheriff Claude J. Louis Jr. strives to keep our citizens educated and informed, so we share the following information. <br \/><br \/>The St. James Parish Sheriff&rsquo;s Office enforces laws regarding animals running at large, but we are \ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude01 animal control officers. We work with our citizens, Bridge to Bridge Animal Rescue, and St. James Parish Government to try to find the best solution when addressing animal complaints. <br \/><br \/>In Louisiana, the governing body of a parish is \ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf6\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddff a police jury \ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddff a home rule charter form of government. St. James Parish operates under a home rule charter. St. James Parish Code of Ordinances, Sec. 2-1, states that the parish council is the governing authority of the parish. Louisiana Revised Statute 33:1221 provides more information about the Police Jury System.<br \/><br \/>Each parish is required to provide suitable shelters or facilities for seized dogs. This is included in Louisiana Revised Statute 3:2774. An agreement with the Ascension Parish Animal Control Shelter to shelter impounded animals was between the parish government and the shelter. St. James Parish Code of Ordinances, Sec. 14-85 includes information about impoundment.<br \/><br \/>The Sheriff&rsquo;s Office is responsible for investigating and enforcing laws and parish regulations. St. James Parish Code of Ordinances, Sec. 14-86 provides information about law enforcement authority. Animal control duties are \ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude01 a function of the Sheriff&rsquo;s Office. Animal Control officers in St. James Parish are \ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude01 required to be P.O.S.T. Certified Officers as our population is not above 50,000. Louisiana Revised Statute 3:2501 includes information about Animal Control Agency Officers.<br \/><br \/>Sheriff Claude J. Louis Jr. thanks Bridge to Bridge Animal Rescue for helping the Sheriff&rsquo;s Office with some of the stray animals found in St. James Parish. While animal control is not a function of the Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, we will continue to respond to animal complaints and do our best to achieve a successful outcome for those complaints. <\/p>","blogID":"69075c22d95ecd5a1e58ed21a48429f3","images":[{"large":"https:\/\/cdn.myocv.com\/ocvapps\/a58770723\/files\/68430e30df083-public_info.jpeg","small":"https:\/\/cdn.myocv.com\/ocvapps\/a58770723\/files\/thumb-68430e30df083-public_info.jpeg"}],"status":1},{"_id":{"$id":"68404aeb776627d2650c84aa"},"creator":"amanda.pertuis@stjamessheriff.com","date":{"sec":1749043945,"usec":0},"title":"DETECTIVES ASK FOR INFORMATION IN MISSING PERSON CASE FROM 2020","content":"<p><strong>DETECTIVES ASK FOR INFORMATION IN MISSING PERSON CASE FROM 2020<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Convent, Louisiana May 30, 2025:<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Detectives with the St. James Parish Sheriff&rsquo;s Office are seeking information on the disappearance of David Shawn Gibson Jr., a white male from the Ocean Springs, Mississippi area.

Louis Jr. announces the arrest of Sayonna Money Davis, a twenty-one-year-old female from Paulina, LA for two counts of Attempted Aggravated Battery and one count of Aggravated Criminal Damage to Property stemming from a shooting that occurred on October 14, 2024, around 6:30 pm on Central Crossing Street in Convent, LA. <br \/><br \/>On October 14, 2024, around 6:30 pm, deputies were dispatched to the 9000 block of Central Crossing Street in Convent to a reported shooting. <br \/><br \/>When deputies arrived at the location, they learned two female victims were in a car when a third female, later identified as Sayonna Davis, shot into the front driver-side window. Broken glass from the window caused lacerations to the face of one victim. The second victim reported no injuries. <br \/><br \/>Through investigation, detectives found sufficient probable cause to obtain an arrest warrant for Sayonna Davis. Davis was arrested on November 6, 2024 and is charged with Louisiana Revised Statute 14:34 Attempted Aggravated Battery (two counts) and Louisiana Revised Statute 14:55 Aggravated Criminal Damage to Property.<\/p>","blogID":"69075c22d95ecd5a1e58ed21a48429f3","images":[{"large":"https:\/\/cdn.myocv.com\/ocvapps\/a58770723\/files\/672e274a1526c-MediaReleaseSayonnaDavisArrestinOctoberConventShooting11-8-24.jpg","small":"https:\/\/cdn.myocv.com\/ocvapps\/a58770723\/files\/thumb-672e274a1526c-MediaReleaseSayonnaDavisArrestinOctoberConventShooting11-8-24.jpg"}],"status":1}]
