A Sulphur high school teacher and coach is facing charges for his alleged role in the stabbing of a six-year-old child. Major Mark LeBlanc with the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office says their deputies went to a home in the Leonville area to investigate a domestic disturbance and walked into a chaotic scene.
“Upon their arrival, they found the six-year-old down with numerous laceration and stab wounds,” LeBlanc said.
LeBlanc says 37-year-old Patrick Greene was combative with deputies at the scene but was eventually arrested and charged with domestic abuse battery with child endangerment, two counts of aggravated assault and resisting an officer. LeBlanc says the child is at a Baton Rouge hospital with life-threatening injuries.
“Their child has undergone a couple of surgeries so far, remains in ICU and what we believe is a stable but still critical condition,” LeBlanc said.
KLFY-TV is reporting that the child recovered from a brain tumor a year and a half ago and was a St. Jude’s patient. LeBlanc says there were a total of seven children inside the home when the violence broke out.
“It’s horrific, it’s horrific. The officers walked into a scene that Stephen King could only conjure up,” LeBlanc said.
LeBlanc says some of the children belonged to Greene, the others belonged to Greene’s wife. The Calcasieu Parish School Board say Greene is now on administrative leave.
