10.12.2006 - RAYNE, La. - A Rayne police officer turned himself in on a warrant for domestic battery against his wife.
Maxine Trahan, spokeswoman for the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office, says 37-year-old Officer Larry Babineaux turned himself in after a warrant for his arrest was issued by District Attorney's Office.
Trahan says the sheriff's office received a complaint from Babineaux's wife August 13th and the warrant was issued following an investigation by the Criminal Investigation Division.
Babineaux's wife also has filed for a restraining order against him.
Rayne Police Chief George Melancon was reluctant to answer questions about Babineaux, although he did confirm that he had been employed with the police department since November 2001.
Asked what disciplinary action could be taken against Babineaux, Melancon said the matter still was under investigation and would be decided by the mayor and city council.
Babineaux was released on a 15-thousand dollar bond.
