Man, 75, dies in hospital after being struck by semi on I-10.

Despite two deputies being on the scene, nothing was written down that night about the incident, which is why Travis said things are changing. The Sheriff's office said Garig was out with another deputy who showed up after the wreck. The night the incident occurred, a deputy was dispatched to the crash which required Kevin Garig's vehicle to be towed out of a ditch. "As we talked about protocols, part of the new protocol in addition to notifying a supervisor, if it's something that we wouldn't write a report on, we will put the protocol in if an employee is involved."

"The CAD call served as a notification that the incident happened, but there are many other incidents like it where a report is not written," Travis said. That's when East Feliciana Dispatch found it. The problem is the sheriff's office had already listened to it, and we responded to them giving them the date, time, and file number attached to the phone call. Two days later, dispatch told us no calls existed. Monday, the WBRZ Investigative Unit requested the 911 call from East Feliciana Parish. Travis said on May 22, a passerby called 911 to report the wreck. "We were told he was at a restaurant and he had a few drinks," Travis said. However, they did confirm that he was drinking. None could confirm that the deputy, Kevin Garig, was intoxicated at the time. They interviewed an employee of the establishment, and deputies and spoke to a witness. Sheriff Jeff Travis said his office immediately launched an investigation following WBRZ's inquiry. The policy change comes after the WBRZ Investigative Unit began asking questions about the wreck this week.
