According to reports, Crystal LeBlanc went to the home to speak to her husband who was inside and knocked on the door. Graig LeBlanc then walked outside and the two began arguing. Savannah – who is reportedly Greg’s side piece – then entered the doorway armed with a gun.
When Greg put his hand out in front of the weapon to retrieve the gun, he was shot in the hand. The bullet then traveled through the his hand and hit his wife Crystal in the arm.
Savannahr turned herself in to the St. Landry Parish jail Jan. 1, posted a $22,000 bond and was released, authorities said.
“I must acknowledge the role I played in this unfortunate situation,” Greg wrote. “I have failed in my commitment to uphold the standards expected of the Chief of Police and, more importantly, failed the trust you have placed in me. Infidelity is a breach of not only the personal commitments I made but also the professional standards we all expect from those in public service.“I want to express my sincere apologies to my wife, my family, all parties involved, and to each and every member of our community.”
