A 54-year-old Port Allen man was arrested by the West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office and transferred to Pointe Coupee Parish to face charges related to an alleged crawfish theft.

Ricky G. Hasbert was booked by WBRSO on Monday, June 30, 2025, as a fugitive from Pointe Coupee Parish. According to custody records, Hasbert was transferred to the Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center in New Roads where he remains in custody.
