Female Wanted for Scamming Tenants an apartment complex: Hammond, LA

Hammond, LA – The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking the public’s assistance in locating a Hammond resident wanted for scamming tenants of an apartment complex.

Sheriff Daniel Edwards says 30 year old Sara Jacy Saucier of Hammond is wanted for scamming numerous victims of the Creek’s Apartment Complex out of money in exchange for a forged doctor’s letter, claiming their pet was an emotional support animal.

According to the investigation, Saucier was employed at the apartment complex and sent emails to the tenants reminding them to pay their pet deposit if they owned a companion animal.

Saucier then followed up her email blast with a second email, telling the tenants that she had a friend who would provide a medical letter deeming their pets as “emotional support animals” for half the cost of the pet deposit.

Saucier then collected money from at least 15 victims, and provided them with a letter believed to be that of a licensed psychologist.

Detectives have since issued warrants for Saucier’s arrest, which are as follows:
(15) counts – Misdemeanor Theft
(15) counts – Illegal Transmission of Monetary Funds
(15) counts – Forgery
