Parole revoked for Kyle Jude Cavalier after alleged battery on officer, drug admission

The Committee on Parole revoked the parole of Kyle Jude Cavalier during the panel’s January 20, 2026 hearing. Chair Carolyn Stapleton read alleged violations related to an October 21, 2025 arrest in Pointe Coupee Parish that included an alleged offensive battery on a police officer and an active bench warrant for failure to appear. Cavalier pleaded not guilty to the battery charges but acknowledged drug use during questioning.

Stapleton, the lead reviewer on the case, told Cavalier the panel had reviewed the incident and supporting reports and then cast her vote: “I’m gonna vote, to, revoke your parole.” Board members Jerry LeDoux and Chuck Tillis concurred, and the panel voted unanimously to revoke.

Why the decision matters: revocation returns the offender to custody and reflects the panel’s finding that Cavalier both had an outstanding warrant and engaged in conduct—assault on an officer and admitted drug use—that the board considered incompatible with supervision. No further conditions or alternatives to revocation were adopted at the hearing.

The panel recorded the revocation at 09:01; the board did not announce additional follow-up requirements at the hearing.
