Former Jefferson Parish Jail Clerk Arrested for Alleged Theft of Over $100,000 in Bond Payments
A former Jefferson Parish jail clerk, Anetra Parker, has been arrested on allegations of stealing more than $100,000 in cash bond payments over several years, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office (JPSO). The 49-year-old Parker, who had worked at the jail for 19 years, is accused of skimming bond payments during her time in the role.
Parker was taken into custody on Tuesday but was later released after posting bail. She now faces felony theft charges, and the investigation into the extent of her alleged actions is ongoing.
Parker’s alleged embezzlement of bond payments reportedly took place over a number of years, and authorities are continuing to determine the full amount involved. Her arrest marks a significant breach of trust within the department, given her long tenure as a clerk.
No further details on the case have been released as of yet, and Parker’s legal defense remains unclear.
