Alleged Gremlin gang member Aaron Carter thought he was about to leave the Vermilion Parish jail after posting a reduced bond of $25,000 for allegedly murdering an Abbeville teen in 2018.
Instead of becoming a free man after posting the bond, Carter was held in the parish jail and arrested by the Rayne police for a murder he is accused of committing in 2015.
The police first arrested Carter in 2015 for the alleged killing of Christopher Trent of Rayne. Trent, who was 32 years old at the time of his death, was shot multiple times in March of 2015.

“I help with on loading and offloading supplies,” Rachalla said. “Without me, the helicopters can’t land or take off from the flight deck.”

The Vermilion Parish School Board voted 8-0 to name North Vermilion Principal Tommy Byler as the new superintendent.
Byler beat out interim superintendent Brad Prudhomme and assistant superintendent Paul Hebert.
The school board also named Byler as the interim superintendent until he and the school board agree on Byler’s contract.
During the interview process on Monday, school board member Dale Stelly asked Byler and the other two candidates why they wanted to be the new superintendent with the COVID-19 problems.
