Lake Charles –
On April 9 the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office received a complaint in reference to Ivy R. Monceaux, 46, 1237 Joe Gray Road, DeRidder, possessing a cell phone that contained inappropriate images of children. Monceaux accidentally left his cell phone at a residence in Calcasieu Parish and in attempt to find the rightful owner, the complainant discovered the inappropriate pictures on the cell phone.
