The D. A. Adds Charges to Men in Mt. Hermon Shooting Spree

District Attorney Warren Montgomery announced Friday (May 18, 2018) that he has added seven more counts to the charges against three young men accused of shooting homes and businesses in the Mount Hermon area before dawn in April last year.

Bailey Koon (18) of Franklinton, Dakota Tetreau (20) of Franklinton, and Desmond Warren (19) of Mt. Hermon are now charged with illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities (9 counts), simple criminal damage to property (19 counts), and aggravated criminal damage to property (9 counts). That includes seven new charges: three counts of illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities, three counts of aggravated criminal damage and one count of simple criminal damage.

Koon, Tetreau, and Warren are accused in a shooting spree that erupted on April 11, 2017, between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., when residents in a rural Mount Hermon community were awakened by gunfire. At least thirteen homes and outbuildings were damaged, as well as nine vehicles and mailboxes. In some instances, the bullets struck within inches of where someone was sleeping. After a five-month investigation by the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office, the men were arrested in September 2017. The District Attorney’s Office charged them two months later with the first thirty (30) counts. After further review and investigation, the seven additional charges were added to the amended charging document signed Tuesday (May 15, 2018) by Montgomery.
Montgomery asks that any known victims who have not been in touch with the District Attorney’s Office about restitution to call (985) 335-1066 no later than June 30, 2018.
