1009 Grave Street
Jennings, LA 70546

Attempted 2 nd Degree Murder
Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz reports, “On October 1, 2025, the Shift Supervisor at the Parish Jail responded to an
attack upon an inmate on the first floor. The deputy found the victim on the floor, bleeding from an apparent
beating. The deputy immediately pulled the victim from the cell and directed personnel to summon an
ambulance while administering first aid.” Sheriff Guidroz continues, “The victim’s injuries were severe enough
to warrant him transferred to Lafayette General for treatment of multiple facial fractures, a broken jaw and a
brain bleed. It is alleged that White punched the victim numerous times and, once on the floor, stomped his
head repeatedly.” Sheriff Guidroz concludes, “Violence should never be condoned and will certainly never be
tolerated in our facility. We stand committed to the safety of all of our citizens, even those in custody.”
