Concerned Citizen
On Tuesday August 2, 2005, at approximately 12 noon, a manager of a local business (located in the 300 block of Canal Boulevard) contacted the Thibodaux Police Department and advised that she had received a telephone call from a concerned citizen who reported that she had just witnessed two possible shoplifters leave her place of business and head south on Canal Boulevard. The concerned citizen described the suspicious actions witnessed between the two suspects along with a brief physical and clothing description. The manager immediately contacted the Thibodaux Police Department.
With the above descriptive information reported by the concerned citizen, the Thibodaux Police apprehended the two suspects within a short time. The two suspects were identified as Clifford Southall (B/M; DOB 11/7/56 of 1291 Bourbon Street in Thibodaux) and Tammy Turner (B/F; DOB 1/29/71 of 1212 President Street in Thibodaux). When apprehended by police, Clifford Southall was in possession of a large purse that contained over $74.00 worth of items from the local business without a receipt to show proof of purchase.
