Vacherie Man Indicted on Attempted Manslaughter Charge

          On June 26, 2017, a St. James Parish Grand Jury returned a True Bill of Indictment for the charge of Attempted Manslaughter on Ryan Harry, age 45, of Vacherie, LA. This indictment stems after a physical altercation in the parking lot of a St. James Parish convenience store. 

          On March 14, 2017, St. James Parish Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a local convenience store in reference to a male subject lying on the ground in the parking lot. During the course of the investigation, detectives learned that the victim had been struck by a male subject later identified as Ryan Harry. Harry was subsequently arrested and booked into the St. James Parish Detention Center. 

          Assistant District Attorney Bruce Mohon is the lead prosecutor on this case. Harry remains incarcerated at the St. James Parish Detention Center.
