Archie Jefferson turns himself in to Jefferson Parish investigators

Archie Jefferson, the brother of imprisoned ex-U.S. Rep. William Jefferson, who lately stands under a cloud of suspicion surrounding the brutal May 11 killing of his wife, Sandra “Sandy” Peters Jefferson, in the couple’s Broadmoor home, turned himself in to Jefferson Parish investigators late Wednesday night hours after the sheriff announced he was wanted. Jefferson’s legal problems in the neighboring parish are more mundane. He was wanted on charges of misapplication of funds and theft, after a subcontractor claimed he didn’t pay for elevation work on a house in Marrero, Sheriff Newell Normand said Wednesday afternoon. The arrest warrant was issued May 17.
