Jessi Dwain Bryant, 38, of Reserve was arrested May 14, 2022 for theft of parish equipment.
On Thursday April 28, 2022, patrol officers responded to a report of a theft of a catalytic converter from a parish truck at Regala Park in Reserve.
Based on investigation and review of video surveillance, officers developed Bryant as a suspect. Detectives obtained an arrest warrant and charged Bryant with theft – $1,000-$5,000 (felony).
He was released May 14, 2022 on a $5,000 bond. Since 2001, Bryant has been arrested on theft charges 25 times in St. John Parish.
