Former Lafayette Mayor Josh Guillory indicted on four felony counts for illegally moving levees in 2022 without permits.
Former Lafayette Mayor-President Josh Guillory was indicted on four felony counts of malfeasance in office by a St. Martin Parish grand jury over a 2022 project that moved spoil bank levees from St. Martin to Lafayette Parish without proper permits or consent.
The operation, code-named “Apollo,” involved transferring earthen berms using barges to block the Vermilion River, violating federal, state, and local regulations.
The indictment followed testimony from former officials and a 133-page audit revealing multiple legal violations.
Guillory, who turned himself in and posted a $30,000 bond, denied wrongdoing, calling the prosecution politically motivated.
The Lafayette Parish DA had previously declined to pursue charges, citing lack of jurisdiction and insufficient proof of criminal intent.
The project, costing $3.7 million, has led to ongoing litigation and demands for restoration.
