Billy Ray Thockmortin

Quote: “Now that story does not seem to match your husbands, would you like to try telling the truth?”
Background: Billy Ray Thockmortin is a sheriff’s deputy in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana and he has been since 2000. Billy Ray has had a troubled relationship with the Sheriff Reginald Haysues. Because of this he is frequently given assignments that Sheriff Haysues does not want to bother with. They tend to be assignments where the victim is black. Other common cases have been socially malignant disputes [trespassing, loitering, vandalism]. He graduated second in his class, and should have been first. His instructors criticize him for self-defeating behaviors, and his performance seems to reflect these assessments.
Description: Billy Ray has always been tall and skinny. His father affectionately called him beanpole, but this nickname was tainted by childhood torments. Billy Ray is of French and German descent. His farmer tan often betrays the inherited light skin of his mother. His hair is light brown and rarely well kept. When he is not wearing his required uniform hat, his hat hair bears witness to his profession devotion. He has powerful brown eyes that reflect his keen intellect. In the winter Billy Ray prefers to grow a beard, but by March he rediscovers his razor.
Storytelling: Billy Ray is a diligent peace officer. He is very good at his job, but he is not an ethical man. His endeavors into the realms of illicit dealings and illegal work are known to some, but the general public sees a proficient Johnny Law. The mayor of Thibodaux [Charles Caillouet] has exploited Billy Ray’s weakness to smooth over many legal transgressions. His frequent conflicts with Sheriff Haysues has left him somewhat “out of place” to assist many people. Office gossip is that he is seeing Deputy Jenny Walker: The Voice of Lafourche Parish Police Radio
