LPSO: Agency Assist

On July 29, 2024, Albany Police Department received a tip about wanted suspect Christopher Wittie being in the area near Julia St.

Wittie was wanted by the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office and Probation & Parole for multiple outstanding felony warrants including burglary & forgery.

Albany Police Chief Boyd Wild says, ‘Once Wittie saw APD, he fled on foot. Springfield PD, Killian PD, LPSO Deputies and Detectives were called in to assist and to set up a perimeter. LPSO’s K9s were also requested.’

Sheriff Jason Ard says, ‘While on the perimeter, LPSO deputies, our K9 partners & APD officers were directed to Leslie St. Deputies surrounded that residence. Our LPSO K9 would soon locate & apprehend the suspect who was hiding under a tarp.’

Wittie will be processed into the Livingston Parish Detention Center on multiple charges.

This was received from a board member and asked that I post it for everyone…

Our annual letters are beginning to be sent out. If your information is incorrect, please contact me, Ella Beall, at the number listed on that letter. I would ask that you please have patience with us as we try to correct any errors that could have been made.

I’m specifically talking about errors on the plot maintenance fees that is included in the mailouts. If someone doesn’t get a letter that should have, then they need to message me on fb please.

I know there is alot of confusion about this meeting coming up Saturday. There is only ONE meeting. The meeting is Saturday, Jan. 28th at 1PM at the Lions Club.

If you received a letter stating there was a meeting that day at the cemetery, that was a mistake. It should have said it was at the Lions Club. Also, there was supposed to be a follow up letter from the attorney to correct that mistake.

If you are an active member with voting rights, please bring proof that you are paid up… just in case!!! If you are not an active member, please still show up if you have some kind of interest in the cemetery… like you have family buried there!!!
