Jurisdiction and charges - Louisiana

Ok - hope it is simple:
Someone stole equipment from me in one parish (felony amount - 15k). They were caught after the fact in another parish but they only admit to selling it for another party who they claim stole it. They will not name the other party.
What are the potential charges and what parish has jurisdiction?

many thanks

LouisianaWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Larceny laws are a state thing. Normally the charges are brought in the jurisdiction that the crime occurred in. However, they also have committed crimes in the parish that they were arrested in. While each parish has it's own DA's office, they represent the state so it's possible to get them to cooperate when a crime spans multiple parishes .

Further thoughts

Thanks for the return.

Assuming that the wheels of justice in Louisiana is similar to other states (and we all know that you have to grant a lot of leeway in making that assumption) - would a person be charged in the county where he "fenced" stolen goods or in the county they were stolen from. Or is what you are saying - it depends on the DA's in the respective counties (parishes).

In this case it make a difference. The guy who has been caught fencing the goods - is a convicted felon in similar offenses - he also has many drug related convictions - but in the parish where he fenced the goods - it just so happens that he is a viable informant for the local police department. Lots of hand wringing and back slapping - and the network still churns in a "red neck" setting. If we can land him in the parish where the theft occurred - then let the "cajun" machine grind away.

Also - is the possession of the goods - fencing activity (which has several witnesses) and his own statement confirming "he was selling it for a friend" and another "he bought it at an auction in Lafayette" strong enough for theft charges or just possession of stolen goods?

We are talking about $15 thousand in theft values.

In the woods they are both the same and carry a "buckshot sentence" - not sure how you guys do it it the concrete jungle.

advice please - and many thanks in advance
