Lafayette Policemen Arrested

It's been a bad couple of weeks for the Lafayette Parish Police Force. Last week they had a 14 year veteran officer, Bobby Howard Jr., arrested in Acadia Parish for Felony Theft for allegedly stealing tractors. Now a different officer, Jeremy Courville, has been arrested for theft of departmental property over $2000. Courville is accused of stealing a laptop computer and GPS system, both of which have now been recovered. Both officers involved were placed on paid administrative leave but Howard resigned late last week. Jason Brown with The Advocate has more.
