On August 2, Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office detective arrested Lacey C. Dronet after an investigation revealed between July 12 and 18, she held a 14-year-old girl against her will.
The investigation revealed on July 12, while staying at a family member's house, the 14-year-old left willingly with an acquaintance; however, for seven days after that, the victim was brought with Dronet to at least five locations in Calcasieu Parish against her will. On numerous occasions the victim asked Dronet to allow her to go home, but Dronet would not allow her to leave and also denied her use of a phone, according to the release. When the victim attempted to leave, Dronet allegedly grabbed her by the hair and threw her to the floor.
