Joshua Schiro, age 30 and a former St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s deputy employed since March 2023, was arrested on May 16, 2025 and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center on the charges of Sexual Battery and Obscenity. No bond has been set at this time.
Schiro, who was employed as a patrol deputy in the 1st District, was fired following an investigation by the agency’s Public Integrity Bureau into an incident which occurred Monday (May 12, 2025) involving a work-place sexual harassment complaint. Members of the STPSO Major Crimes Unit were asked to look into possible criminal charges related to the incident.
“Upon being made aware of this incident, we began investigating both for policy and criminal violations,” said Sheriff Randy Smith. “I hold our employees to the highest standards of conduct and when we receive a report that one of our deputies acted inappropriately, we thoroughly investigate to identify any violations of policy and/or law.”
