One day after deputies booked his son in connection to a shooting near Maurice, Cory Verret Sr. faced charges for allegedly confronting the complainant in his son’s case.
On July 9, Cory Verret Jr. allegedly fired from a black GMC Yukon when their vehicles crossed paths on McDonald Road. Verret Jr. was arrested and booked into Vermilion Parish Correctional Center for Aggravated Assault by Drive-by Shooting and Illegal Discharge of a Firearm.
According to Vermilion Parish Sheriff Mike Couvillon, on July 10, VPSO deputies received a report from a complainant from an incident the day before.
The complainant stated as he drove up to the stop sign at Leblanc Road and
Odessa Road in Vermilion Parish, Verret Sr. ran out of his nearby residence, yelling at him to stop the truck. He continued to drive away, but the sheriff’s office report stated that a pickup truck approached the complainant’s vehicle from behind.
The complainant drove away, but the pickup truck began tailgating him. As the complainant approached the intersection of La. Hwy. 343 and La. Hwy. 92, the truck following him swerved into the opposite lane of his truck, at which point he recognized Verret Sr. as the driver.
According to the report, Verret Sr. threw a pocketknife, approximately two inches in length, at the complaint. Verret Sr. passed him up and then proceeded to slam on his brakes. The complainant stated that he turned around and headed in the opposite direction. Verret Sr. also turned around and continued to tailgate the complainant for a few miles.
The complainant contacted deputies, advising them that he was involved in an incident involving Verret’s son the night before. Verret Sr. was arrested and charged with Intimidating a witness, aggravated assault, and aggravated obstruction of the highway.
