Washington Parish Sheriff's Office detectives have determined that Kacey Lee Lanier (28) of Amite was traveling with a motorist in Washington Parish when he got into an argument with the driver who dropped him off on Highway 62 in the Pine community. Lanier then made his way to a residence that was under renovation, burglarized the residence, and called for an unidentified person from Tangipahoa Parish to pick him up. He was noticed by several citizens who gave a good description. When his ride arrived, Lanier loaded the stolen items, that included a utility trailer and Kubota tractor.
Lanier was arrested and returned to Washington Parish on June 9th but released on June 11 after posting a $3,500 bond. The investigation into the burglary continues and Sheriff Randy Seal asks that any person who has knowledge of the location of the stolen tractor and trailer to please contact Detective Lieutenant Tom Anderson at (985) 661-2024.
According to an October 2016 article posted on Baton Rouge’s WBRZ website, Lanier was arrested by the TPSO in 2016 for obstruction of justice after he allegedly helped a murder suspect by allowing him into his home, helping him hide the gun used in the murder, driving the murder suspect to another area where the murder suspect stole a truck, and helping the murder suspect obtain another gun later used in a drive-by shooting. Details concerning Lanier’s incarceration and release in Tangipahoa Parish are not known at this time.
“There is more to this entire matter than meets the eye,” stated Sheriff Randy Seal. “Our detective division will continue to work on this case and will see it through to the end.”
