An investigation requested
by Causeway Police Chief Nick Congemi into missing evidence has resulted in an
arrest today (February 1, 2017) of Causeway Police Sergeant William Jones
Jr.(44) by members of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office Public Corruption
Unit, for one count of felony theft and malfeasance.
When $6,300 and narcotics
were discovered missing from the evidence room of the Causeway Police
Department, Chief Congemi asked Sheriff Randy Smith to investigate. The
investigation led investigators to the evidence officer, Sergeant William Jones
Jr., who ultimately confessed to the theft. His confession was recorded and
Jones' employment was terminated and he was booked into the St. Tammany Parish
Jail.
