St. Tammany Parish, La (WVUE) - Cody Beaudette’s ordeal began after a deadly hit-and-run in Slidell took the life of six-year-old Jeremiah Ramirez on Aug. 13. The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office initially arrested Beaudette for the crash.

“They were 100% sure that they had their guy,” Cody Beaudette said. That wasn’t the case.
On Wednesday, the St. Tammany Parish District Attorney refused all remaining charges, including DWI and child endangerment, against Beaudette.
“Collin Sims’ District Attorney’s Office rightfully dismissed all the charges in this case that the St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office unjustifiably put on Cody Beaudette and his family,” Joe Raspanti said.
