The caller is aggressive, says they're a government agent and you'll be arrested or go to jail if you don't pay a "fine" immediately. STOP! Government impersonation is a fast growing crime. Reach out to #FBINewOrleans at 504-816-3000 or https://t.co/SPONto9prp to report it.

[Rapides Sheriff @RapidesSheriff]

Sheriff's detectives, in collaboration with State Fire Marshal (SFM) investigators, are actively seeking the public’s assistance in gathering any videos and pictures associated with the homicide/house fire.
