A Lafayette Parish sheriff’s deputy was cited for allegedly slashing a vehicle’s tire in the parking lot of Walmart.


Jean Phillip Joubert, a five-year veteran of the department, was issued a summons on Thursday for criminal damage to property. He was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office. Opelousas Police Chief Perry Gallow said officers responded to Walmart around 7 p.m. Tuesday after a vehicle’s tire was slashed.


Officials say that after reviewing a surveillance video, officers were able to identify the suspect as a law enforcement officer by the jacket he was wearing. Gallow says the incident appeared to stem from an argument over a parking space.
