Former EBR Council on Aging Director Avoids State and Federal Charges

The Advocate reports that Sharon LaFleur, the former director of the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging, has yet to face any criminal charges three years after she was fired from her position. Agency officials discovered LaFleur allegedly used more than $1 million from a charitable trust fund to acquire, renovate and operate Rosewood, a plantation-like estate in Ascension Parish. A civil suit which will determine who own/controls Rosewood is pending in the 23rd JDC.
