Sarah Leverne Chenault (56) was arrested in the 3200 block of Clarksville St. on an outstanding warrant for Theft over $2500.00 but under $30,000.00. The arrest stemmed from an incident reported in February 2025 in which Chenault, who was employed as an apartment manager, was allegedly found to have taken monies for rental payments but had not turned them in for deposit to the bank, depriving the apartment’s owners of their property. Chenault was booked and transferred to Lamar County Jail.
