Warrant Issued For Former Prosecutor After No Show In Theft Trial

A Louisiana court has issued a warrant for arrest for former Terrebonne assistant district attorney Stephen Callahan, 51, after he failed to appear to stand trial on allegations that he stole the money of a client, Sarah Reed, 56. Callahan’s lawyer has insisted that Callahan simply couldn’t find a ride on Monday or Tuesday.

Reed paid $3,000 to Stephen Callahan to advise her son Van Wolfe but said that he never performed his duties as a criminal defense attorney. Callahan was later arrested and faces four counts theft over $500.

Terrebonne Judge George Larke was not persuaded by the car difficulty claims and issued the warrant.
