Man Featured on Crime Stoppers Arrested in Vermilion Parish

According to Eddie Langlinais (Director of the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Task Force and Coordinator of Crime Stoppers of Vermilion), on July 19, 2022, Narcotics Agents, along with the Vermilion Parish Special Response Team, acting on a Crime Stoppers Tip, were able to apprehend Colby Comeaux (B/M, DOB: 9-29-1983), at his residence located at 15900 Ire Private Road in Rayne Louisiana without incident.
Comeaux had several active warrants for a range of offenses including Armed Robbery, Possession of Cocaine, Aggravated Criminal Damage to Property, Non-Support, as well as several contempt charges and traffic warrants.
Langlinais says, “This is just one example of how Crime Stoppers of Vermilion can join forces between the public and law enforcement to solve crimes and put criminals in jail. This is a safe and anonymous way of getting information to law enforcement without fear of retaliation.”
Langlinais continued, “I want to thank the Anonymous Tipster, and I encourage anyone with any information on any crime in Vermilion Parish to call the Crime Stoppers Tips line at 740-TIPS (8477) or download and logon to the P3 app to report your tips anonymously, where you can earn a cash reward.”
"I commend my investigators and the Special Response Team for a job well done,” says Sheriff Mike Couvillon.
