Former Deputy Jerrel Tauzin Arrested for Possession of Stolen Property


A former Iberia Parish Sheriff's Deputy has been arrested for theft for the second time in two months.

According to Iberia Parish Officials Jerrel Tauzin has been arrested on new charges of possession of stolen property valued at more than one million dollars.

Tauzin was arrested Nov. 15 after investigators found he was in possession of a laptop computer stolen in September from Breaux Brothers enterprises, containing valuable designs estimated to be worth more than $1 million.

Tauzin was first arrested Oct. 30 after admitting to police he burglarized the home of a vacationing acquaintance.

Sheriff's officials say they are preparing to charge Tauzin with at least 10 additional burglaries.

Tauzin is being held on $150,000 bond.
