The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) has arrested 20-year-old Latrail James for robbing a gas
station and trying to injure a K-9 officer. James has been booked on one count of 1st Degree Robbery, Unauthorized Entry of a Business, Resisting an Officer and Battery on a Police Officer.

On Tuesday (October 27, 2026) morning, TPSO received a report about a robbery at a convenience store in the 42000 block of Airport Road in Hammond. Deputies arrived to learn an individual with a pink mask came into the store wearing a backpack, claimed he had a gun, and stole items from behind the counter before getting away on a bicycle.
K-9 Thor was deployed to the area to assist with the search for the suspect. Thor located the individual in a field behind a neighboring business and apprehended him. As deputies approached Thor and the suspect, they observed the suspect choking the K-9 deputy and were quickly able to separate the suspect from Thor.
James was treated at a local hospital before being booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail. Thor was also cleared after an evaluation.
