According to the Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office:  On Monday, May 2, 2016, Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division received a call in reference to a Disturbance. While on scene Deputies were able to apprehend and detain Jason Brent Soileau on an Outstanding Warrant.

On October 29, 2015 Jason Brent Soileau failed to maintain control of his Pitbull, in which the dog left from his presence and ended up biting a female juvenile in the neighborhood while walking down the street. The dog then turned towards the juvenile’s sibling in a manner to attack her prior to the owner Jason Brent Soileau calling the dog back to the area in which it left from.

Soileau was wanted for questioning in reference to the incident described above. Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office Investigators were unable to make contact with Soileau for questioning. After further investigations it was learned that Soileau had left the State of Louisiana, and was believed to be in the State of Alabama. At that time an Affidavit and Warrant of Arrest for Dogs at Large and Proof of Vaccination was authored on Soileau, and later signed by 13^th Judicial Judge Gary Ortego.

The Parish of Evangeline has an Ordinance that requires all dogs to be in their owner’s control at all times (Lease Law) and one for Proof of Vaccination in which an owner must be able to provide a list of their pet vaccinations at request.

Jason Brent Soileau was booked and has since posted bail.
