A former Church Point Police officer has been booked with child sex abuse charges.
Shane Grundstrom, 57, was booked with two counts molestation of a juvenile.
UPDATE: Here's the statement from Church Point Police which we received on Friday:
The Church Point police department would like to make a statement in reference to the arrest of a former Church Point police officer. On January 14,2025 we received a resignation via text stating that this officer was giving his resignation due to personal reasons, where he was given his release. On January 29th, this former officer was arrested by the Acadia parish sheriff department and at this time is when the Church Point police department was informed of situation.
The Acadian Parish Sheriff's Office conducted an investigation into a complaint, and determined a juvenile victim was being molested.
They obtained a warrant for Grundstrom, who was arrested without incident on Wednesday in Church Point. He was booked into the parish jail, where he remains Thursday afternoon in lieu of $100,000 bond.
The Sheriff's release states that Grundstrom is a former Church Point Police Officer, so we reached out to Church Point Police to see if they have a comment. We'll update the story as soon as we hear back from them.
