Dear Colonel Reeves:

Mayor-President Josh Guillory and I respectfully request that the Louisiana State Police
investigate serious matters which occurred at divisions of Lafayette Consolidated Government
namely, the Lafayette Utilities System and LUS Fiber. The request for
investigation concerns the integrity of public records, the destruction of which appears to be an
attempt to cover up a crime. After receiving a whistle blower complaint, LCG conducted a limited
internal investigation and have identi?ed the following individuals who have information:

Terr Huval

    

l.
2.
3.

Terr Huval was the Director of LUS and LUS Fiber, who retired in 2018. 
ere eel-rent LCG employees in the LUS and LUS

Fiber divisions who were placed on administrative leave yesterday.

Mayor-President Guillory takes the public trust placed in him and the employees of
Lafayette Consolidated Government very seriously and believes there was sufficient evidence
uncovered in the internal investigation to warrant further investigation by the Louisiana State
Police into the destruction of computer ?les, e-mail archives and possible manipulation of
accounting or public finance records.

One glaring example of destruction of public records is that Terry Huval?s e-mail count
per year on the archived server was approximately:

2009 22,000 2013 42,000
2010 20,000 2014 46,000
2011 455 2015 42,000
2012 17,000 2016 37,000

It appears that there was somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 of Terry Huval?s e-mails
deleted for the 2011 time period. This is the time frame when communications regarding the
pricing structure for the Power Outage Monitoring System and Sewer Lift-Station Fiber Service
between af?liates Lafayette Utilities System and LUS Fiber occurred and which is currently under
investigation by the Louisiana Public Service Commission.

We believe that certain individuals at LUS LUS Fiber are guilty of injuring public
records (La. R.S. 142132); theft (La. R.S. 14:67); malfeasance (La. R.S. 14:134) and/or criminal
mischief (La. R.S. 14:59). We further believe there may be additional crimes uncovered when a
thorough external criminal investigation is conducted.

Mayor-President Guillory takes this issue very seriously, and he humbly requests that your
office give this matter the utmost consideration. On behalf of our Mayor-President and his
administration, we appreciate your time.
