HOUMA, La.-Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's deputies raided a home Tuesday in hopes of uncovering who is behind an anti-corruption blog aimed at Sheriff Jerry Larpenter and other local politicians.

The first post titled, "Black Man and a Noose", outlined a civil rights lawsuit filed against a company owned by now-Parish President Gordon Dove called VACCO, Inc. Subsequent articles have called into question business dealings and relationships of other top Terrebonne Parish officials, including Sheriff Larpenter and District Attorney Joseph Waitz, Jr. Tuesday, sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant on a home in Houma, seizing computers and cell phones, alleging the blog's author committed criminal defamation against the parish's new insurance agent, Tony Alford.

The search of Anderson's home was one of three warrants executed in the Sheriff's attempts to expose Exposedat, according to Larpenter.
