Additional charges filed against Doucet

The Crowley Police Department has reported that additional charges have been levied against Addison Doucet, owner of Doucet’s Gas and Diesel Repair Shop, 225 S. Eastern Ave.
On Monday, Doucet was charged with 11 counts of theft by fraud and 11 counts of damage to property with intent to defraud.
The charges stem from ongoing complaints regarding the repair shop’s failure to work on vehicles on which customers had made deposits or paid in advance for parts, as well as complaints from customers who recovered their vehicles only to find parts missing.
Earlier this month, Addison and Jessica Doucet and Quinton Hanks, an employee of the Doucets’ repair shop, were each charged with theft by fraud over $30,000, damage to property with intent to defraud and criminal conspiracy. All three were booked into the Acadia Parish Jail and bond on each was set at $150,000 by District Judge Kristian Earles.
According to a media release issued by the CPD on Monday, the department had continued to receive calls from new complainants asserting that they had been “swindled by Doucet and the repair shop.”
Through the investigation of these complaints, Detective Chasity Coats acquired sufficient evidence to charge Addison Doucet in eleven new cases.
Doucet was booked into the Acadia Parish Jail on a $110,000 bond.
Investigation into the case continues.
