Agents with Attorney General Liz Murrill's Louisiana Bureau of Investigation arrested a man from Scott, Louisiana, for failure to registers as a sex offender and unlawful social media use.

36-year-old Gabriel Nichol Francis, of Garnie Lane in Scott, who is currently incarcerated at the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center in reference to a probation violation, was booked on the following additional charge by the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation:
