Capital Region Crime Stoppers relies on strong community partnerships to solve cases across nine parishes. Speaking live from the Ascension Business Expo, representative Don Coppola highlighted how anonymous tips actively keep local neighborhoods safe.
Big Wins in Ascension Parish Anonymous tips yield real results. A recent tip led to a swift arrest following a massive $7,200 cigarette theft in Ascension Parish. Whistleblowers receive cash rewards while maintaining complete anonymity through the P3 Tips app, online portal, or phone line.
Wanted Fugitives and Public Safety Law enforcement currently seeks several suspects:
-
James Acosta Jr. (DOB: 11/19/1968): Wanted for domestic abuse aggravated assault and unauthorized use of a movable after a verbal dispute escalated.
-
Marlena Cox (DOB: 7/23/1997): Wanted for aggravated battery stemming from a physical fight.
-
Lyra Romero: Wanted for domestic abuse battery and child endangerment following an incident investigated in Gonzales.
Spotting and Handling Domestic Disputes Domestic violence incidents escalate quickly. Officers advise citizens against intervening directly in volatile situations. Instead, report concerns immediately to law enforcement or contact Crime Stoppers to provide helpful details safely.
Strength in Regional Agency Partnerships Crime Stoppers thrives through close collaboration with Sheriff Bobby Weber, the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office, and local departments like Gonzales Police. Community involvement remains the backbone of regional safety efforts.
