A Chalmette man was booked Tuesday with indecent behavior with a young girl,
the St. Bernard Parish's Sheriff's Office announced.

Jim Alphonso Jr., 36, 2517 Ventura Drive, was arrested after the girl told
her mother and grandmother that Alphonso made her touch him sexually, Chief
Deputy Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

The sheriff's Juvenile Division, headed by Maj. Darlene Poche, investigated
the complaint leading to the arrest.

Alphonso was booked with the felony charge of indecent behavior with a
juvenile and he is being held in St. Bernard Parish Prison in lieu of
$50,000 bond.

Pohlmann said the incident happened about two weeks ago at a residence in
Violet when two minors, including the girl, were left in Alphonso's care.
The girl's age was not released, but the sheriff's office said she was under
10 years old.
