FRANKLIN, La. — A Franklin man already in custody on firearm charges faces additional charges after St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives reported finding digital images and communications involving a juvenile.
Hollister Matthew Hebert, 20, was arrested November 6, 2026, at 8:16 a.m. on charges of computer-aided solicitation of a minor, indecent behavior with juveniles and child sexual abuse material.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, detectives discovered the images and communications in October while investigating Hebert in connection with a theft of firearms case. A detective subsequently obtained a warrant for his arrest on the additional charges.
Hebert was already being held at the St. Mary Parish Law Enforcement Center. A detective met with him at the facility and arrested him on the warrant.
Hebert remains incarcerated. At the time of the Sheriff’s Office report, bail had not been set on the additional charges.
The investigation remains ongoing. All persons accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
