Vernon Parish, LA (11/7/2025) – The Louisiana State Police Criminal Investigations Division – Alexandria Field Office arrested former Allen Parish Sheriff’s Office Deputy Winston Lambright following a detailed investigation into the misuse of law enforcement databases.
On November 5, 2025, the Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office requested state police assistance after learning of possible unauthorized access to the Louisiana Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (LLETS).

The Louisiana State Police will continue leading the investigation. Moreover, the case will be turned over to the Vernon Parish District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
