With a violent crime rate of 2.82 per 1,000 residents, Destrehan sees its share of violent crimes. The rate of assault is 1.78 per 1,000 residents, while murder is comparatively lower at 0.11 per 1,000 locals. An arrest for a violent crime either comes immediately after an attack in Ormond Country Club Estates, or elsewhere in the city. In other cases, an arrest may be made after an investigation finds probable cause that a crime took place.
The defendant would then be booked at St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office Correctional Center or another nearby detention center. If a judge approves bail and the defendant pays it, they can be released. Court hearings follow, where the defendant learns about the charges and the evidence being used against them. Criminal cases typically resolve through plea bargaining, dropped charges, or a trial verdict.
