CAUTION!

While we make every attempt to ensure the accuracy of our web based arrest warrants, there is no cause for arrest based on information found here. In ALL cases, warrants must be confirmed with the originating agency AND the issuing court prior to attempting arrest. While warrants are issued, cleared or quashed hourly, it is not possible to ensure all data is current.

ONLY CERTIFIED POLICE OFFICERS should ever attempt to effect the arrest of any person named in this database. All felons should be considered armed and dangerous. If you have information on the current location of any person listed, call the sheriff's office at 225.222.4413.

 On behalf of Sheriff Nathaniel Williams, his staff, and 
law enforcement officers, welcome to the 
St. Helena Parish Sheriff's Office in Greensburg, Louisiana.

 

 

The Old St. Helena Parish Jail, built in 1855, is an excellent example of a mid-19th century jail building. It is probably one of fewer than five extant examples in Louisiana, as well as one of the oldest buildings in St. Helena Parish.

The Old St. Helena Jail is a simple two-story brick building whose main space cuts through the square plan at a 45 degree angle, leaving two small triangular spaces on each story. One of these spaces contains a relatively new triangular staircase.

On the cement floor is evidence of the location of the former cells. The Old St. Helena Parish Jail exemplifies Louisiana's history in the area of its legal and criminal codes, which differs from that of the rest of the United States. Louisiana was established in 1699 as a French colony under French laws, and later during Spanish rule, Spanish laws applied.
