The following is a Press Release from
the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office:
On Aug. 3, detectives with the Calcasieu
Parish Sheriff's Office Vehicle Crimes Unit responded to an apartment complex
on S. Beglis Parkway in Sulphur, regarding two vehicle burglaries where the
victims reported several pieces of stereo equipment, worth over $3,000, had
been stolen out of their unlocked
vehicles.
During further investigation, detectives
were contacted by one of the victims who had discovered stereo equipment stolen
from both vehicles had been placed for sale on an online sale site.
After contacting the person selling the
stolen items, later identified as Monaishea T. Minix, 21, of Lake Charles,
detectives arranged a meeting to view the items at a local business. When
detectives arrived and confirmed the items were those reported stolen, they
advised Minix he was under arrest. When detectives attempted to arrest
Minix, he resisted and fled on foot. Following a brief foot pursuit,
Minix was apprehended by detectives without incident.
Minix was booked into the Calcasieu
Correctional Center and charged with possession of stolen property over $500;
and flight from an officer.
Some of the stolen items were recovered
and returned to the owners.
Judge Kent Savoie set his bond at
$3,500.
CPSO Detective David Doucett is the
lead investigator on this case.
