A Jean Lafitte police officer has been arrested after allegedly burglarizing a car, said Sheriff Newell Normand.
Normand said 27-year-old Anthony Molinario, of 1120 St. Marie in Luling, faces a charge of simple burglary of a vehicle.
Witnesses, who had parked their vehicle behind the Town Hall and then went for a walk, returned to their vehicle to find a suspect wearing a police uniform inside their vehicle. Normand said the witnesses saw the suspect leave in a reddish colored Jeep SUV. After recording the license plate, Normand said they notified the Sheriff’s Department.
Normand said after an investigation, deputies identified Molinario as the suspect. Molinario denied the accusation, but “showed signs of deception” during a polygraph examination, Normand said.
Molinario is now in the Jefferson Parish correctional center.

Sgt Eric Janik Arrested for Pointing his Weapon in Haunted House
Authorities in Maryland said an off-duty police officer was arrested for pulling his handgun and pointing it at the chest of an actor in a haunted house.
Baltimore County police said Baltimore Police Department Sgt. Eric Michael Janik, 36, pointed his gun at Michael Brian Morrison, 32, who was dressed as "Leatherface" from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," while walking through "The House of Screams" in Essex with a female city police officer and his 9-year-old daughter just after 10 p.m. Sunday, the Baltimore Sun reported Tuesday.
County police said Janik, who smelled of alcohol and was slurring his speech after the incident, initially denied pulling out his handgun during the haunted house tour but later told officers he drew the weapon and pointed it at the ground. However, multiple witnesses said he pointed the gun at Morrison.
Janik, who was suspended from the police department, was charged with first- and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment. He was released on $25,000 bail.
