NOPD: Suspects accused of assaulting officers in French Quarter

Disclaimer: All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department is trying to arrest two suspects, each accused of assaulting at least one law enforcement officer in the French Quarter. The cases are the latest ones to roll on the Wheel of Justice.

Both cases happened within approximately a six week period in the Lower French Quarter around Barracks Street and French Market Place.

The first case happened on Feb. 19. New Orleans police have identified the suspect as 19-year-old Jason Ledet. Once arrested, Ledet will be booked with one count of aggravated assault of a peace officer.

The second case happened on March 23. The suspect in that case is identified as 40-year-old James Gum. Police say once arrested, Gum will face three counts of aggravated assault of a peace officer.

The NOPD told WGNO that no additional information was available regarding the circumstances in each case, including whether a weapon was used. Police did provide a picture of each suspect.

If you can help police locate either man, call CrimeStoppers at 504-822-1111. You don’t have to reveal your name or testify in court, and you could be eligible to earn a cash reward.

So far, more than 475 people have been booked after their cases rolled on the Wheel of Justice.
