First Jane Doe Booked Into the Washington Parish Jail

On July 2, 2021, a Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office patrol deputy was dispatched to Highway 21 north of Bogalusa in reference to a female creating a disturbance. Once the officer encountered the female, she resisted arrest before being restrained. When the officer asked for her name and identification, she provided a false name. Later, while being booked into jail, she again resisted officers and had to be physically restrained.

Since she refused to give her name and other identifying information, she was booked into the jail under the alias Jane Doe. Once she was fingerprinted and her fingerprints were submitted to the criminal justice database, her true identity was revealed. Her actual name is Nicole Ann Currie, age 33 and a resident of Livingston Parish.

Currie was booked into the Washington Parish Jail charged with criminal trespass, possession of illegal drugs and three counts of resisting an officer. She has no previous arrest record in Washington Parish.

“This was a strange situation,” stated Sheriff Randy Seal. “Her refusal to identify herself certainly did not keep her from going to jail. Little did she know her fingerprints would quickly identify her once they were submitted to the criminal justice database. Most likely, she had a previous arrest somewhere else. I am glad the identity issue was resolved. Although such a situation is unusual, it is not unheard of. The Washington Parish Jail has not had a previous Jane Doe inmate but has had John Doe inmates on three previous occasions, one in 2008 and two in 2019.”
