The New Iberia man suspected of robbing Community First Bank in Broussard earlier this week has been arrested. 

According to a prepared statement from Broussard Police Chief Brannon Decou, 29-year-old Jeremie Raymond of New Iberia was arrested on a fugitive warrant for attempted first degree murder, armed robbery (of a bank) and illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. 

Raymond was identified on Tuesday as the shooter who fled on foot after committing the crimes at Community First Bank on Monday.  With the assistance of the U.S. Marshal’s Middle Louisiana Fugitive Task Force and Western District of Louisiana’s Violent Offender Task Force, Raymond was apprehended early Friday morning at his sister’s residence in Baton Rouge.  The investigation was a collaborative effort between several neighboring jurisdictions who have been working collectively to track down Raymond.

A judge put a $500,000 bond on the warrant the BPD obtained for Raymond. He is currently being held in East Baton Rouge Parish Jail.

“I would like to thank all agencies that assisted us in this investigation and made it possible to get this criminal off of the streets,” Decou said.
