Troopers began their investigation in September 2010, when they received information from the State of Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles in reference to a possible theft of limousines. Through further investigation, troopers found that Riculfy executed two lease agreements through the Pacific Coast Automotive Group of Los Angeles, CA, for a 2008 Chrysler 300 limousine and a 2008 Hummer H-3 limousine.

Riculfy was arrested and booked at the Orleans Parish Central Lock-Up.
