disgusted with sheriff's office

Published/Last Modified on Wednesday, April 15, 2009 11:53 AM CDT

no name please

A family member of mine was beaten in the head two weeks ago by his daughters boyfriend. My family member was on his property when the beating occured. The boyfriend was told the night before by deputies to stay off my family members property. He trespassed on the property the following night and beat my family member and left him on the ground, face down, in his own blood. He was transported to a hospital in Lafayette and was in ICU for 2 days. His total stay in the hospital was 4 days. The boyfriend was NOT arrested for this assault. My family member was told to get hospital reports and bring them to the Sheriff's department. He did just that. His reports were refused by the department, stating he had to give them to the deputy or deputies that were dispatched to the assault. Still, the boyfriend is still out and has not been arrested as of today.

This is just unbelievable to me that someone can go onto your property, beat you senseless, and not be put in jail. What is wrong with this picture?? The sheriff has not returned the phone call that was made to him my family member's sister.

The daughter's boyfriend is a dangerous man. He has no respect for anyone. Has he gotten away with this? It appears that he has.

The sheriff's department needs some better leadership. Mr. Ackal doesn't appear to be doing his job very well.

I am withholding my name to this letter. When the boyfriend is arrested and put in jail, then i will feel safe. Until then, sign me,

disgusted

" The sheriff department has to be held responsible for it's actions. I have most recently had bogus stalking charges in which did not happen. I have proof of foul play by sheriff department. I have audio and video recordings of deputies making reports. Ackal..... Wake up and listen to us. DA's office is trying to cover it up. I will take any lie detector test how about your deputies. Biggest problem is Ackal will give them a raise for doing such a crooked job... Ackal where are my police reports of me being vandalized? "

" This same guy has gone beyond what even an animal would do.He beat his own father with a pipe this weekend and after that he distroyed the girlfreinds home.So did not get charged once again.He must be eaither knows someome in the police dept or is very lucky because they know where to find him.I guess he will have to acually kill someone before he gets arrestes and that is really sad.I feel for even his own family that no one can see how bad this has gotten.In any other parish he would already be in jail !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" OK so your music "was no louder than you normally put it?" Just because of that doesn't mean you didn't break the law, alot of cops are more tolerant at say noon than at midnight of loud music...and they can't take your stuff unless your foolish enough to have it at the curb, but they can threaten to take your stuff, it's an investigation technique to get their way/answers..notice, that they did and it WORKED! Either way, you got a warning be quiet, sounds like your just whining because you had to turn your music down "

" HOLD UP! Someone needs to tell my neighbors about that loud music law! Is the "PUNK" related to a government official in town? I feel sorry for that poor father, he needs to practice TOUGH LOVE and throw the boyfriend and his daughter on the street. Take his grandsons and raise them himself or give them to a family member who can. POOR KIDS! Drugs like Meth & Crack are ruining our town and we are just sitting by blaming the Sheriff. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH maybe? IN THE OLD DAYS... "

" Very Concerned. If they can hear your stereo from off of your property, it is too loud. They cannot however come and take your stereo unless they have a warrant from a judge. I find it hard to beleive they told you this, unless you are a 16 year old kid who doesn't know any better. They can hoever write you a citation over and over as long as you keep playing your music too loud, if they can't hear it off your property, then they cant give you a ticket. "

To very concerned wrote on May 1, 2009 5:25 AM:

" You're saying you broke the law and got a warning, so you think we need a new sheriff again? Don't you think it's possible that maybe someone must have complained about your loud noise to the sheriff's department? "

" i totally agree this nut of a sheriff we have needs to go ! I live in the country and got a ticket for loud noise, can you imagine that, what happened to freedom living in the country, my music was no louder than any other time, and i was told if they come back out my stereo system can be taken away, i mean they can come in your yard and take your stuff! We need to get him OUT !!! Does he think he's Obama are something,,,We need them both out!! What is going on in america "

" Now I have heard it all. if a person does not have the right to drink and protect his own property what can he do. this punk has been told several times to leave the owners property and he is still there and get the facts staight he was not arrested he got a ticket WOW. So it looks like it is you can almost kill a man and get just a ticket.Great example for our children and he has gotten away with this several times.I Guess it who you know.That is why he cant see his own children.CRAZY SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

" Dear "CONCERNED NEIGHBOR"-Beleive it or not --I live just down the road from them and NO --I am not on the PUNKS side. Seems like nobody is talking about the other side of the story.But ---word on the street is that the "VICTIM' was very drunk when the incident happened and also put a gun in the PUNKS face the day before---but that's besides the point---so what about the kids now!!!!! So thats probably why the sheriffs office is playing it down or gave the punk a slap on the wrist. "

" There's no way they didn't do anything... it would be illegal and state police would investigate for malfeasance...

sounds to me the deputy probably wrote a report, tried to find this guy by going to his home or wherever, and could not find him... so what is the next step? a warrant.... now the deputies just need to find him and arrest him... thats just the way it works like it or not... get a scanner and listen to their radios after 12pm and see how crazy this town gets....

" What planet do you live on if you think "any mother would ever endanger her young"? Years ago, a horrible woman named Susan Smith strapped her two little boys into her car and then dumped in into a lake, drowning them both, all because she thought they were too much of an inconvenience for her boyfriend.

A GOOD MOTHER WOULD NEVER ENDANGER HER YOUNG. "

MY OPINION wrote on Apr 21, 2009 9:24 PM:

" Personally, I feel that CONSIDERING you were not there and do not know or state both sides (much less the ENTIRE) story, then you need to seriously MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS because its apparent that you are trying to focus attention on someone else rather than yourself - because its evident that you are covering up or lying about alot - YOUR STORY IS RIDICULOUS! AND MAKES NO SENSE! Maybe your lying considering the father is still riding around DRINKING and getting drunk as he did every other day! But you say that he was beaten! he's dangerous "

none wrote on Apr 21, 2009 9:17 PM:

" And as for the daughter and her young children...Again, what ignited this entire ordeal is unknown because you one-sided however any mother would never endanger her young - so if the boyfriend was that much of a threat to anyone, I would highly doubt that she would allow her children to be around anyone like that. Or, maybe her boyfriend is someone that finally took up and protected her and her children from her father. Maybe her father mentally and emotionally abused her for her entire life! Maybe you need to mind your own!! "

KARMA wrote on Apr 21, 2009 8:16 PM:

" Please push until he gets what he deserves. He does alot and gets away with it! What will it take for him to kill someone! DON'T GIVE UP!! My God you could have died, he went onto your property, put it to him once and for all! The daughter and boyfriend are 2 sick individuals! Ya'll are in my prayers! "

UNREAL wrote on Apr 21, 2009 8:11 PM:

" I beleive that the boyfriend is gulity of hurting the father in that way. Between the drugs, alcohol, steriods, he is a beast. Since he has moved down our road, they went in ditches, running down the roads, fussing, fighting loud where we can all hear, brought in so much trafficing. Just not safe anymore. He is known to get away with things very often. He does'nt take care of his own kids must less hers. To put her kids through that mess says what kind of mother she is! Really feel sorry for the kids and the father!GOODLUCK "

" TO ANONYMOUS; If you be able to read correctly a concerned neighbor did say the children is in danger. If you we not so drunk our something you would have noticed this. You must not know what you are even taking about or the family.Because it does concern the kids as well as the famliy and neighbors and there children also.So to me.It sounds as if your on this punks side for attempted murder.So get your facts straightor even better you get chid protection out here.Because you do not have to live here.It seems you do not have a clue "

DoubleStandard wrote on Apr 21, 2009 4:56 PM:

" For those that would defend IPSO, you must be part of the double standard. You know the one where people who are "connected" get the attention, where those who are not simply have to become "Squeaky Wheels" (as one poster puts it). Iberia parish is full of people who abuse their power using any avenue they have available to them...sheriffs deputies do it to and for you to believe they don't makes you as ignorant as Patin's duck. It's only a matter of time before you find yourself on the wrong end of things...so be ready. "

anonymous wrote on Apr 20, 2009 9:56 PM:

" Dear "Concerned Neighbor" ---Were "YOU" drunk when you were writing this ---because it sure sounds like it. Sounds like alot of that or "something going on in that neighborhood. Once again who's looking out for the young kids in the family? Someone needs to at least investigate that part!!!! "

" Do you think the deputies maybe have a little to much time on their hands doing other things when their on duty than actually doing what should be done, how many times have they been seen doing something and you no its not work related buts its in a work car or on work time.. If they wouldnt do wrong they might not be in the public eye so much.. "

concerned neighbor wrote on Apr 17, 2009 10:08 PM:

" I know the family this inncedent happened on the fathers property.As a concerned neighbor the children and anyone else who gets in the persons way will be in danger. As someone who can see the drinking and long nights at this persons home cars in and out and neighther the boyfreind or dauhgter has a job. If this does not fishy I do not know what will. Our neighborhood will not feel safe until somethind is done. The family has done everything the police asked. WHAT NEXT!SOME INNECENT PEOPLE TO GET HURT BY ACCIDENT!!!! WAKE UP LAW "

" Dear "Can't be true--don't beleive this story! I know the family and yes IT IS TRUE--alcohol and drugs and STUPIDITY---- thats what it all boils down to-- a raving bunch of LUNATICS. Someone with a little bit of sense needs to put the daughters kids in a safe place.Child protective services -at least- needs to be involved. "

family member wrote on Apr 16, 2009 7:03 PM:

" The point that is trying to be made, is that this family member was beaten on HIS property. To be exact, underneath his carport, after the boyfriend was told not to come back.
This is not and was not my family members fault.

the boyfriend thinks he above the law.

If you can't be safe on your own property, where can be safe? this person "

Believe it - its true wrote on Apr 16, 2009 1:41 PM:

" To: Smells Fishy
You're wrong. The victim was on his own carport and was hit in the head with a pipe with his hair and flesh on the pipe. The assailant is pumped up on drugs and twice the size of an ordinary man. Get your story straight. Do you know how his daughter treated the incident? Try to find that out and give your opinion of her. "

Believe it Its true wrote on Apr 15, 2009 9:44 PM:

" You can believe what she's saying. An arrest may be coming with a little more evidence. I have known these people for many years and the beating did take place. I live nearby and the boyfriend is trash and I wish he'd leave the neighborhood myself. Every dog has their day, I say. "

" Domestic violence is a horrible thing; all have alot to loose.
They did not expect the victim to live due that first night to his subdual hematoma.
Trouble at his beautiful daughters place for too long; way too much party time for a mom--the victim feared for his 2 grandson's safety. The land she has a double wide on was bought with blood sweat and tears by her grandfather.Perhaps the state police would be a better choice to utilize in this attempted murder case; or the victim can go to the court house to family court and press charges himself. "

" How can anyone expect the S.O. to run efficient when you have an assistant Warden who has had brushes with the law, a convicted felon running the mechanic shop, even after trying to recently trade his truck for drugs at a local crack house, deputies that work in the jail that have served time in St. Martin jail, and one that was involved in questionable behavior with the Lafayette law enforcement, after calling in sick! All public records..check it out..I did! "

" I heard about this incident and you are forgetting to tell the public about the alcohol consumed by the hospitalized and that the fight took place basically on his daughters property even though he claims it as his. The sheriff's department knows better. If you are going to state fact, state it all.
Smells fishy! "

" To no name: continue to call the sheriffs office. Go in person and DEMAND to see the Sheriff or Chief Deputy. Ask for Mr Earl or this new guy, Hebert. Demand justice and that they do their job. If you get no help. then go to the DA's office and DEMAND to see Phil Haney. Make your voice loud and strong. Only the squeaky wheel gets the grease! If you don't continue to follow up and MAKE THEM do their jobs, it won't get done. "
