LULING — A man with a mohawk style haircut slashed the tires on three St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office patrol units this morning, and authorities are asking for help identifying him.

The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 6’0″ with slim build and brown Mohawk style hair, wearing a blue shirt and gray shorts.

Police said three units had their tires slashed at the Dot’s Diner in Luling by an unknown white male at approximately 1:30 a.m. Saturday.

A witness, who advised he was inside his vehicle in the Dot’s/Hotel parking lot, said he saw the male approach the units, puncture the tires and flee on a mountain bike style bicycle with a front basket attached.

Anyone who knows the identity of the suspect or has information on the vandalism is asked to contact Detective Joseph Dewhirst at 985-783-6807 or 985-783-1135.
