Overview

• U.S. District Judge David C. Joseph sentenced Guidry to four years, well below the 78–97 month guideline range after a motion from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
• The sentence includes three years of supervised release, a $10,000 fine, special monitoring conditions, and a Nov. 14 self‑report date.
• Judge Joseph said Guidry’s greed corrupted pretrial diversion systems in Lafayette and East Baton Rouge.
• Prosecutors described Guidry as the hub of the scheme and pointed to his cooperation, including testimony at Gary Haynes’s trial.
• Former assistant district attorney Gary Haynes was convicted last month and is set for December sentencing, while co-defendants Leonard Franques and Joseph Prejean await sentencing and ex-LDWF chief Jack Montoucet faces a 2026 trial.
