GONZALES mdash; Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Donovan Jackson was arrested Thursday morning on a second-offense DWI.nbsp;Sheriff Bobby Webre told WBRZ that Gonzales Police were called to the I-10 eastbound off-ramp at La. 30 around 3:30 a.m. Gonzales Police responded and found Jackson, 39, asleep behind the wheel of an unmarked sheriff's office unit assigned to him and later learned he was under the influence.nbsp;"The Gonzales Police Department did exactly what they should've done and made an arrest," Webre said. "Now come the consequences."Webre said that Jackson, a commissioned deputy who is not enforcement-certified, has had the unit taken away from him and placed on unpaid suspension pending an investigation into the incident.nbsp;Jackson, who has been working with the sheriff's office since 2021, was booked on one count each of obstructing public passage and operating while intoxicated, second offense, both misdemeanors. As of 8 a.m., he remains behind bars and has not yet posted bond.nbsp;"This behavior by one of our employees is not acceptable at all. Any law enforcement officer or public employee is accountable to the exact same law as anyone else. Whatever a civilian gets, our employees will face the same consequences," Webre said.nbsp;Permalink| Comments ...read more read less
