FUGITIVE CAPTURED in Vermilion Parish

CROWLEY — A Morse man who has been on the lam for 18 months has been captured.
Sheriff K.P. Gibson said Blake Langlinais, 28, of Pelican Road, Morse, was arrested Friday in Gueydan.
“For the past year and a half, deputies with the Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Office have been trying to locate a wanted fugitive on a number of charges,” Gibson said. “Working with the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force, he was captured in the Gueydan area. Once being booked into the Vermilion Parish Jail, he was transferred to the Acadia Parish Jail.”
Langlinais was arrested on several felony warrants dating back to early 2020. He was charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, aggravated battery with a weapon and illegal discharge of a weapon.
These warrants stem from the robbery of an individual in the Mermentau area of Acadia Parish.
His bond has been set at $100,000.
