Arrest Warrant Issued for Owner of Shreveport’s Sanctuary Apartments

The Caddo-Shreveport Financial Crimes Task Force has secured an arrest warrant for the owner of the Sanctuary Apartments.

The warrant was issued following an investigation into an outstanding water bill totaling more than $145,000.

SPD Investigators found that the owner of the Sanctuary Apartments was responsible for paying the water bill for the apartment complex, as water service was included in residents’ rent.

Investigators identified 38 year-old Ephraim Feldman, a resident of New York State, as the owner of the property.

Financial records showed that, as of October 2026, the property’s account with the City of Shreveport's water had accumulated an outstanding balance of $145,347.91.

Investigators found that Feldman had failed to apply the necessary funds toward payment of the utility services for a period exceeding 60 days.

An arrest warrant was obtained for Feldman on one count of Misappropriation of Funds (Louisiana Revised Statute 14:71.5).

From SPD:

"The Shreveport Police Department remains committed to investigating financial crimes and holding individuals accountable when their actions potentially impact residents and essential public services."
