Sheriff Aaron Mitchell reports a man was arrested yesterday evening for stealing campaign signs in the Noble/Ebarb Community. Over the last couple of months, District 6 Sabine Parish School Board Candidate John Stewart claimed someone had been stealing his campaign signs.

On the early morning hours of September 10, 2022, a subject in a black car was observed taking one of Stewart's signs. The subject was later identified as Zackary Deigh Parrie (age-30) of Zwolle. Parrie admitted to Sabine Parish Sheriff Detectives he took several campaign signs and they were located at his residence. 11 signs were seized: 4 John Stewart signs, 3 Donald Garcie signs, a Ebarb Rebels sign, 2 High Speed Internet signs, and a Free Quotes for shops.com sign.
