Arrests In Pointe Coupee And St. Landry Parishes Regarding Theft Of Livestock

On April 7, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry’s (LDAF) livestock brand inspectors arrested 21-year-old Kivon L. Hollins. Hollins was arrested on a warrant charging him with two counts of theft of livestock in Pointe Coupee Parish. His bond was set at $50,000. At the time of his booking in Pointe Coupee Parish, a hold was placed on Hollins for an additional warrant regarding further allegations of transactions of stolen livestock in St Landry Parish.

On April 13, Hollins posted the $50,000 bond and was then transported and booked on the additional warrant in St. Landry Parish. At this time, Hollins’ bond in St. Landry Parish is still pending.

LDAF’s brand inspectors’ investigation determined that around February 2026, six calves were stolen from a cattle producer in Pointe Coupee Parish. It is alleged that Hollins was involved in the theft of the six head of livestock and the subsequent sale of two of the stolen calves, thereby committing a false sale and creating a second victim in St. Landry Parish. As of April 13, four of the six calves have been recovered.
