After confirming this was the person who allegedly was banging on doors, police noted the man’s speech was slurred and he “appeared nervous.”

Police reportedly found a green container with a clear, rock-like item that was found to be methamphetamine.

Bergeron’s name is not listed as a current inmate at the Jefferson County Correctional Facility.

An indictment is not a final conviction of guilt; it is only a ruling by the grand jury that allows the district attorney’s office to proceed with a criminal case.
