Most charges dropped months after evacuation but Michael J. Hebert still sits in jail

The federal agents who searched Hebert’s apartment at the Landing at Bayou Cane, 1803 Martin Luther King Blvd., “made a big hoopla of all these weapons,”
Pastor said. “Yeah — he was a gun collector.”
The fraudulent documents, which Terrebonne Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said were counterfeit credentials and badges of federal agencies, were marked “for display purposes only,” Pastor said.

Most gun and counterfeit document-related charges have been dropped against a Houma man who was arrested in August after police evacuated several buildings at his apartment complex as they investigated whether he had bombs.

However, Michael J. Hebert, 61, still sits in jail because the holidays have delayed his case, his attorney said.

Last week, federal officials charged Hebert with owning a gun with a barrel shorter than the length required by law, New Orleans-based attorney Robert Pastor said.
