St. Mary Parish's Most Wanted

A 22-year-old Morgan City man who was on The Daily Review’s Most Wanted list for the rape and beating of a 16-year-old girl was arrested Thursday by U.S. Marshals in Iberia Parish, St. Mary Parish Sheriff Mark Hebert said in a news release.
Atlas J. White, 22, of the 1300 block of Oil Tank Alley in Morgan City, was arrested at 8:55 p.m. Thursday on a warrant for aggravated rape and unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling.
On April 16, the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office received information from a local hospital regarding a possible rape victim who was being treated in the emergency room.
Detectives determined that the 16-year-old female victim was beaten and raped the previous night at a residence in Amelia. Detectives identified White, a person the victim knew, as the suspect in the crime. White is also accused of entering the home without permission, Hebert said.
After developing information that White was actively evading arrest and was no longer staying in St. Mary Parish, the detective assigned to the case contacted the U.S. Marshals’ Office to request assistance in locating him, Hebert said. U.S. Marshals located White in New Iberia. White was taken into custody on the warrant and turned over to deputies and jailed with no bail set.
White was also accused of entering the home without permission, Hebert said.
The rape victim has been released from the hospital and is recovering, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Traci Landry said.
Previously featured Most Wanted suspects Larry Dean Robertson Jr., Andre Jones and Belinda Ann Arceneaux are still wanted. Robertson is wanted for armed robbery and for failure to appear for simple robbery. Jones is wanted for failure to appear for criminal neglect of family. Arceneaux is wanted on six warrants for issuing worthless checks.

Narcotics detectives conducting an investigation at a motel in Morgan City located synthetic cannabinoids and Clinosil pills in one of the rooms.
Pearce was wanted regarding a Nov. 7 incident where he punched a 16-year-old male in the face at a residence in Ricohoc, Hebert said. The victim sustained a broken jaw as a result of the attack, the sheriff said.
Franklin
Curtis Williams, 31, whose last known address is in the 300 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Franklin, is wanted on a July 23 warrant for domestic abuse battery. Officers are seeking Williams for hitting the victim with a phone charger cord, Franklin Police Chief Sabria McGuire said in a news release. Williams is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 197 pounds. Williams was added to the Most Wanted list in March.
Police also are looking for Breonne Bowie, 26, whose last known address is in the 400 block of Lockett Road in Franklin.

Bowie was first featured in January.
The charges stem from an officer monitoring traffic in the area of Willow Street and Chatsworth Road, McGuire said. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle, but the vehicle did not stop and continued through the city failing to stop at six stop signs. Bowie then pulled into a trailer park on Canal Street, and exited the vehicle, which continued to roll forward into a trailer. Bowie fled on foot, and officers were unable to locate him, McGuire said.
The possession of stolen things charge is because the license plate on the vehicle Bowie was driving was stolen, McGuire said.
