SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY LEADS TO BURGLARY ARREST IN TERREBONNE PARISH
November 4, 2026

Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Tim Soignet announced the arrest of a Gray man, following an investigation into a reported attempted burglary of a local business during the early morning hours of Monday, November 2, 2026. Mario Valentine Decassio, 27, was arrested in connection with the incident.

Early Monday morning, Deputies with the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division responded to a business located in the 100 block of Armour Drive after receiving information about a suspicious individual who reportedly intended to break into the building.

When Deputies arrived, they located a male subject, later identified as Decossio, walking near the exterior of the business. Deputies quickly discovered indicators that Decossio had accessed the roof of the building prior to their arrival, and attempted to make entry into the building. Deputies took Decassio into custody, and learned that he was wanted for an unrelated arrest warrant.

Deputies arrested Mario V. Decassio and transported him to the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex, where he was booked on charges of Attempted Simple Burglary, and Failure to Appear - Theft Under $1,000. Decassio remains in custody pending a bond by local judges.

“The cooperation of our citizens plays an important role in helping law enforcement protect our community”, said Sheriff Tim Soignet. “ When suspicious activity is reported, it gives our Deputies an opportunity to respond quickly, investigate the circumstances, and take appropriate action. I appreciate the efforts of our Patrol Deputies and the individual who brought this matter to our attention.”

ALL PERSONS ARE PRESUMED INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
