East Carroll Parish Deputy Arrested for Illicit Act Involving a Juvenile

East Carroll Parish – In April 2024, Louisiana State Police Special Victim’s Unit (LSP SVU) was requested by the East Carroll Parish Sheriff’s Office (ECPSO) to investigate a complaint against one of their Deputies involving inappropriate contact with a juvenile. During the course of the investigation, it was determined that 31-year-old Andrew Tibbs made sexual comments to a juvenile via electronic messaging.

As the investigation progressed and with the information obtained, LSP SVU secured an arrest warrant from the 6th Judicial District Court for one (1) count of indecent behavior with juveniles.

Earlier today, Tibbs was arrested and booked into the East Carroll Parish Detention Center without incident.

At the time of his arrest, Tibbs was employed by ECPSO and on administrative leave. The investigation remains active and ongoing, and additional charges are possible. No further information is available at this time.

LSP SVU works to rescue and seek justice for the victims of crimes involving the exploitation of children and the trafficking of humans for sex or labor. The public plays an important role in identifying suspects accused of these crimes and is urged to report criminal or suspicious activity. The Louisiana State Police online reporting system is available to the public through an anonymous reporting form that is submitted to the appropriate investigators. The form can be found by visiting http://la-safe.org/ and clicking on the “Suspicious Activity” link.
