WDSU Chief Meteorologist Devon Lucie Arrested on Domestic Abuse, Child Endangerment Charges

The station placed him on leave pending a Jefferson Parish investigation into an alleged late-night altercation in his home with children present.

Overview

  • Jefferson Parish deputies booked Lucie early Sunday on counts of domestic abuse with child endangerment and refusing to identify himself.
  • An arrest report says deputies responded to his Marrero home after a dispute that began earlier at a Gretna music festival.
  • The woman told deputies he punched her in a bedroom while her two children slept in the living room, according to the records.
  • Deputies documented cuts, scratches and welts on the woman and noted Lucie had dried blood and declined to clean his injuries.
  • WDSU confirmed Lucie is on leave as the sheriff’s office continues its investigation, and no court proceedings have been announced.
