LAPLACE – The St. John Parish Sheriff’s Office announced the suspension of one of their own deputies last week following an internal investigation into a citizen’s complaint, according to a spokesman for the department.
Pedro Luna, a crime scene investigator for the Sheriff’s Office, was suspended without pay after an internal investigation revealed he violated the Sheriff’s Office code of conduct, said Capt. Dane Clement, public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office. Clement did not say how long Luna had been on suspension or how long the suspension was scheduled to last.

St. John Sheriff Wayne Jones said he feels this issue “is solely a personnel issue and will be handled accordingly.”

My cousin has been in jail since Easter and no trail date has been set, wayne Jones's man get only a slap on the wrist.
I guess the law is color blind. The family is praying for you Leonard.
Hopefully justice will open her eyes and realize you still sitting there waiting for a trail or bail reduction.
The man made a mistake and is sorry and now need to get home to his family who desperatley needs him.
Where is justice for Leonard. "
