BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Jail records show that former Donaldsonville mayoral candidate and current vice chair of the West Ascension Hospital Board was arrested again Monday.
Glenn Price, 68, was charged with obstruction of justice. Records available online show he posted a $5,000 bond and was released from the Ascension Parish Jail on Tuesday afternoon.
A spokesperson for the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the latest arrest is connected to Price’s previous arrest in October 2024 in connection with a multi-parish stolen property scheme. Investigators learned that Price allegedly tampered with evidence while colluding with his girlfriend.
In a video posted on Facebook, Price called the charges “bogus” and maintained his innocence. “As a matter of fact, I stole nothing. I don’t live my life as a thief. I live my life to work in my community because, once again, that’s what God’s mission is for my life,” he said.
