According to deputies, the victim stated that he contacted deputies in fear that an escalated incident was about to occur due to Mr. Vicknair’s behavior and body language.

Vicknair was later arrested and transported to the Evangeline Parish Jail, where he was booked without incident and charged.

During investigation, it was also learned that prior to this incident, Vicknair allegedly went to the diocese in Lafayette and demanded to see the one of the clergy members there. If his demand was not met, he threatened he was going to shoot every person that exits the front door of the building, deputies said.

Upon his release from the Evangeline Parish Jail, he was transported to the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center for pending terrorizing charges.
