Update:  Christopher Picard was arrested at approximately 7 p.m. tonight by the Caddo Sheriff's Office and U.S. Marshal's Task Force. Following citizens' tips, deputies went to the 4100 block of St. Vincent Avenue where they found Picard at a residence hiding under a mattress. Picard now faces additional charges of simple escape and resisting arrest.

 

Original story:  Local law enforcement is asking the public to be on the lookout for a non-violent offender who walked away from University Health today.

Christopher Picard, 32, was taken to the hospital after being picked up by Louisiana Probation and Parole. Because he is a non-violent offender, he was under guard at the hospital by private security. He somehow managed to leave the hospital after being treated by doctors.

Picard is a black male, 6'0, 190 pounds. His last known address is the 5900 block of Bernstein in Shreveport.

Picard was sentenced in September of 2014 to four years hard labor for unauthorized use of a vehicle. That sentence was suspended and he was placed on probation. 

Anyone with information regarding Picard's location is asked to contact the Caddo Sheriff's Office at 675-2170.
