A Thibodaux man is in jail and another is wanted after Lafourche Parish sheriff’s deputies say they lured a couple into an armed robbery by advertising a trailer for sale on Facebook.

According to Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre, the victims went to the trailer, located on Lindsey Road, to inspect it. After one man let them into the trailer, another man in a ski mask robbed the victims at gunpoint after they entered a bedroom. The man in the ski mask stole the victims’ cash and cell phones before the victims ran away and called for help.


Deputies later spotted the suspects walking down Brule Guillot Road. Those deputies arrested one of the suspects, Darius Walter. The second suspect ran away and remains at large.

Water is facing two counts of armed robbery with a firearm. He remains in the Lafourche Parish Jail without bond.
