Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz reports, “On July 11, 2025, St. Landry Parish Patrol deputies responded to a report of
an armed robbery from the parking lot of Jim Tatman’s Mobile Homes, 15729 U.S. Hwy 190 near Opelousas.
The complainant was a laborer working on a mobile home when approached by Myers, who was brandishing a
small firearm. It is reported that Myers took the workman’s truck and trailer and drove towards Port Barre. It
was also reported that the suspect collided with several vehicles along the way.” Sheriff Guidroz concludes,
“For some unknown reason, Myers drove to the Port Barre Police Department, where he was taken into custody
without incident. We want to thank the officers with the Port Barre Police Department for their assistance in
this matter. This incident should serve as a reminder that, if confronted with an armed individual, do not
antagonize them. If all they want are personal possessions or vehicles, let them have it, your life is worth so
much more.”
Anyone with additional information about this crime is encouraged to call the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office
at 337-948-6516. You may also call Crime Stoppers at 337-948-TIPS, download the P3 app on your mobile
