New Iberia, LA — Shocking surveillance footage, which was subpoenaed by federal investigators, shows a savage and violent attack on Louisiana man by a sheriff’s deputy and his K9 partner. The footage was so deeply disturbing that 6 years after it happened, the deputy responsible has finally been brought to justice.
Former sheriff’s deputy David Prejean pleaded guilty in February to the assault and is only just now being sentenced. Prejean was a K9 sergeant with the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office and had been called to the jail to assist with a shakedown, according to prosecutors. Prejean will now spend the next 30 months behind bars for the attack.
The attack happened on Dec 6, 2012. Marcus Robicheaux along with all of the other inmates was being subject to a contraband sweep. Like all of the other inmates, Robicheaux had his hands on his head and his nose on the wall.
As the video begins, we see Deputy Prejean, grab Robicheaux by the back of his shirt and drag him to the middle of the room where he’s thrown to the ground.
The entire time Robicheaux is seen keeping his hands up and not resisting. The prosecution agreed.
“While M.R. was lying on his stomach, with his hands behind his head, the defendant commanded his K9 to bite M.R., despite the fact that M.R. had complied with the defendant’s commands and was not a threat to the defendant, his K9, or anyone else on the rec yard,” prosecutors said in court documents.
“He grabbed me and slammed me down on the ground,” Robicheaux said in an interview in 2015. “He picked me out. Why? I don’t know. I still ask myself that to this day.”
Prejean then sics his K9 on the man who was clearly not a threat to officers. Robicheaux was mauled from head to toe. For the deputy, however, the mauling wasn’t enough, so he began to brutally beat Robicheaux as he lay suffering from the bites.
“I couldn’t do nothing but scream,” recalled Robicheaux in an interview with the Advocate. “The inmates couldn’t do nothing to help me.”
While the video has no sound, we can clearly see that Robicheaux posed no threat which happens to be completely contrary to Prejean’s account of the incident.
