Cajun Justice in Limbo as New Sheriff Fires Cast

by at .

The cast of A&E's reality show Cajun Justice is dealing with a new sheriff in town ... one apparently bent on not having his team featured on a reality show.

The show follows Sheriff Vernon Bourgeois and his deputies as they fight crime in the swamps of Louisiana. Or at least it did until they got a new boss.

The Terrabone Sheriff's Dept. confirms that new sheriff Jerry Larpenter fired 24 people on DAY ONE ... including five of seven people featured on the show.

Cajun Justice

A sixth cast member quit to support his fellow comrades.

What's more, not only did the new Sheriff pink slip to most of the cast, but as of July 1, he banned A&E producers from following anyone in his department.

Probably wants to "focus on criminal justice" or some absurd notion.

It's unclear if A&E will nix the show completely or attempt find a new department to work with, but for better or worse, Larpenter's crew won't be on it.

Season 1 will finish as planned; beyond that, it's unclear.

    Hey i really enjoyed the show, i had hoped for a second season, but now i'm reading that the filmcrew has been denied access to film in the Cajun area due to the new sheriff, that's too bad. I think you had a great show, something exciting and yet scary sometimes. So get it on the air again ! :) - I'm from Denmark, so yeah, it's even enjoyed by people from far away ;-)

    That is sad to hear. The show was enjoyable, and it sounds like this new sheriff might have been looking to hire friends and family. Banning A&E from filming, especially in a place that could use the income, is like shooting yourself in the foot....unless you have something to hide......

    Sorry to hear about the show. Hope all the deputies find other jobs with a better boss. Maybe this boss needs to loss his job.
