Cajun Justice is an American reality television series on A&E. The series debuted on June 7, 2012.[1]
Despite season one averaging 1.5 million viewers an episode, the newly elected sheriff, Jerry Larpenter, did not agree with the way the series represented his parish. Ken Reichling, creator/executive producer, attempted to keep the show within the parish, and A&E agreed to increase the payment from $1,500 an episode to $10,000 an episode. Larpenter declined the offer.
The Louisiana Auditor's Office reviewed former Sheriff Vernon Bourgeois' spending in relation to 'Cajun Justice' in January 2013.[2]
