CENTERVILLE – A man from Tampa who was arrested in St. Mary Parish over the weekend faces additional criminal charges after attempting to escape jail, according to police records.

Two deputies received medical treatment from the injuries they sustained during the altercation.

Piriou was arrested on Sunday morning on a warrant for the following charges: disarming a police officer, resisting an officer, resisting an officer with force or violence, battery of a police officer-injury medical attention, battery of a police officer, attempted escape and simple robbery

Bail for all his charges has been set at $235,000.
