The investigation into this matter was predicated on an anonymous complaint received by the Metropolitan Crime Commission of New Orleans (MCC). The complainant reported that two OPJC employees, Dr. Gail L. Audrict and her son, James A. Audrict, are not maintaining an actual domicile within the Parish of Orleans. Instead, both City employees are living in Slidell, Louisiana (St. Tammany Parish), in violation of the City domicile policy.

After reviewing St. Tammany Parish Assessor’s Office records, Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicle records, and Louisiana Secretary of State voter registration records, the OIG has determined that these two City employees, Dr. Audrict and Mr. Audrict, may not be maintaining an actual domicile within the Parish of Orleans. Such behavior would constitute a violation of the City Domicile Ordinance and the CAO Policy Memorandum No. 19(R), Domicile Requirements for City Employees.
