St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office arrests New Orleans woman
on child desertion charges

A New Orleans woman was arrested in St. Bernard Parish after she sent her 5-year-old child alone in a transportation service vehicle, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Reiona Oliver, 27, of the 2300 block of 4th Street in New Orleans, was booked April 23 with child desertion after she placed her 5-year-old child in a transportation service vehicle and instructed the driver to take the child from a residence in Chalmette to school in New Orleans.

On Tuesday, April 23, shortly after 9 a.m., Sheriff Pohlmann said, a driver with a local transportation service company brought a 5-year-old child to a Sheriff’s Office substation in Arabi to seek assistance after he told a woman who had summoned a ride for the child that he could not take the child unaccompanied by an adult.

According to the driver, when he arrived at the Chalmette residence in the 1000 block of East St. Avide, the woman, later identified as Oliver, placed the child in the vehicle, and stated she wouldn’t be riding along. The driver said the woman went back into the residence and did not return.

Oliver was taken into custody and transported to St. Bernard Parish Prison where she was booked on the above charge.

A criminal history check was conducted on Oliver which revealed she had two outstanding warrants out of Jefferson Parish for traffic attachments.
