According to the sheriff’s office, Paul Blanchard, 60, was arrested after an arrest warrant was issued on Oct. 22.
Detectives learned that Blanchard confronted a man near his home in the 600 block of Bayou Drive West and ultimately fired a shot, striking the man. APSO Sheriff Leland Falcon responded to the shooting, where he found the victim. Blanchard is accused of firing a shot at Sheriff Falcon’s direction, grazing him.
An additional deputy fired at Blanchard, authorities say.
Blanchard was taken to a local hospital for his injuries. Records state that Blanchard was released from the hospital on Tuesday and was booked into a Louisiana State prison facility on charges of two counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, hate crimes, aggravated burglary, and aggravated assault on a police officer.
A bond hearing is pending.
