On June 8, 2006, Sgt. Mike Davis of the Armed Robbery and Burglary Division (A.R.A.B.), investigated the theft of a pickup truck tailgate. Unknown to the person removing the tailgate, he was taking it from an unmarked Sheriff's unit. Forensic evidence left at the scene almost immediately identified the suspect as one Todd Joseph Hebert, white male, DOB: 12/10/85 of 15328 Waywood Avenue. Sgt. Davis recovered the stolen tailgate and on June 13, 2006, issued a warrant for Hebert's arrest, charging him with Simple Burglary and Felony Theft.

Todd Hebert turned himself in to Sgt. Davis on 6/15/06, at which time he was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison in accordance with the arrest warrant.
