Officer Jeremy Courville Arrested for Stealing Laptop

A Lafayette police officer was arrested this afternoon for allegedly stealing police department property.

Jeremy Courville, 32, of Lafayette, was charged with unauthorized use of a movable and felony theft. He was booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center.

Courville was placed on administrative leave in early July after the Lafayette Police Department received a theft complaint, according to a press release. Detectives secured two warrants for his arrest as a result of a criminal investigation.

The property allegedly stolen by Courville was a laptop computer. The property taken and used without authorization was a GPS system. Both pieces of property have been recovered.

Courville is a seven-year veteran assigned to the patrol division. He remains on paid administrative leave as an administrative investigation continues.
