Summary
- WDSU Chief Meteorologist Devon Lucie arrested for domestic battery

On October 6th, 2025, WDSU Chief Meteorologist Devon Lucie was arrested and charged with domestic battery. According to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, the incident occurred with Lucie's girlfriend, with a child under the age of 13 present.
The details surrounding the altercation are still unclear, but WDSU has since placed Lucie on leave pending the investigation. Lucie was appointed as the station's Chief Meteorologist in August 2025, taking over for longtime weathercaster Margaret Orr, who resigned earlier that year after 45 years of service.
The arrest comes as a surprise, as Lucie had been a well-respected figure in the local community since joining WDSU's weather team in 2021. The station has not elaborated further on the situation, but the charges against Lucie are a significant development in his career.
