On Tuesday, January 23, 2024, an investigation conducted by the Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office (CPSO) led to Quanterrick Montgomery, 18, of Webster Parish, and Jeremiah Crane, 18, of Bienville Parish being arrested and charged with Aggravated Burglary.

CPSO initiated an investigation of a reported burglary at a Homer, Louisiana residence. Three firearms, a PlayStation 5, and an AR-15 style air rifle were reported stolen. Claiborne Parish detectives collected evidence that ultimately led to the arrest of Montgomery and Crane.

Montgomery and Crane are currently incarcerated on the Claiborne Parish warrants. Both Montgomery and Crane have additional pending felony charges from Bienville Parish. With the assistance of Bienville Parish authorities, Claiborne Parish detectives were able to recover the stolen air rifle, the PlayStation 5, and two of the stolen firearms (AR-15’s) within approximately 48 hours of the initiation of the investigation by CPSO.

Claiborne Parish Sheriff Sam Dowies would like to thank Bienville Parish Sheriff John Ballance and his deputies for the combined efforts to resolve the incident. Sheriff Dowies believes that cooperation between CPSO and outside agencies is the key to protecting and serving the citizens of Claiborne Parish.
