Jonathan Menard.
The remains were identified as belonging to Rice.
A week later, officials from the sheriff’s office issued an arrest warrant for Menard, the station reported.
He was arrested on an alleged unspecified parole violation and transferred to the Jefferson County Correctional Center in Beaumont where he is currently jailed, according to online records.
It is unclear whether he has entered a plea or obtained an attorney to speak on his behalf.
