Junior Achievement Appreciates LPSO Volunteers

Dear Sheriff Neustrom,

Junior Achievement of Acadiana gratefully acknowledges the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office's generous support of economic education programs at Ernest Gallet Elementary School. Last year the departure of Ocean Energy employees greatly impacted the number of volunteers who supported the program at Gallet. Fortunately, when we called upon Donna Delahoussaye she responded by helping to recruit volunteers from the Sheriff's Office... Junior Achievement applauds the efforts of the staff at the Sheriff's Office for taking an active approach to forming a powerful partnership that enriches the educational experience for the students at Ernest Gallet and other schools in the parish.

Sincerely, Michele Boustany, Education Manager

Deputies Investigate Fatal Go-cart Accident

Tuesday, June 8, 2004

Sheriff Mike Neustrom advises that a 13-year-old juvenile was killed Monday evening as a result of an accident that occurred in the 1200th block of Breaux Road between a go-cart and a Ford Explorer. Preliminary findings indicate that at approximately 7:29 PM the go-cart and a motorcycle were traveling south on Breaux Road when the Ford Explorer struck the go-cart. One occupant of the go-cart, a 13-year-old white male, was killed and the other, a 19-year-old white male, was transported to a local hospital with severe injuries. The driver of the Ford Explorer, a 27-year-old white male, was also transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office, Accident Investigation Team (AIT), is continuing to investigate this incident.
