ST. GABRIEL - Search warrants were executed at St. Gabriel Police Chief Kevin Ambeau's home and office Wednesday afternoon.

According to Iberville Sheriff Brett Stassi, search warrants were issued in connection to missing evidence in a homicide case the DA's office asked deputies to pursue.

"It's never a good thing when you have to investigate a fellow law enforcement officer or law enforcement organization. It's not my proudest moment," Stassi said. 

Sheriff Stassi said when the district attorney's office started looking through the case, they noticed $3,500 that was supposed to be locked away in evidence gone.

"Some money that was taken out of the vehicle where the people were killed, and it was placed in evidence. As the DA prepared to go to court, he checked the evidence and some of the money could not be located," he said. 

Deputies executed two search warrants Wednesday for Chief Ambeau's home and office. The sheriff's office involved the FBI in the case, but agents did not help execute search warrants.
