Former Iberia Parish Clerk of Court Mike Thibodeaux was booked into the Iberia Parish Jail Tuesday morning to begin serving a malfeasance in office sentence. 

According to jail logs, Thibodeaux was booked at 9:50 a.m. at the IPJ. The entry comes after 16th Judicial District Court Judge Lewis Pitman rejected a motion last week to allow former Thibodeaux to serve his 30-month sentence under home incarceration.

Thibodeaux was convicted in May, 2019, on one count of racketeering, two counts of theft over $25,000, one count of theft between $5,000 and $25,000, two counts of filing or maintaining false public records, seven counts of malfeasance in office and one count of perjury. The racketeering count was overturned on appeal, and three non-unanimous verdicts were overturned after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling made them unconstitutional.
