In 2006, Wright was convicted and sentenced to twenty-five years imprisonment for three counts of video voyeurism. He filmed female customers using the dressing room in his clothing store in Minden. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Shreveport upheld the conviction but vacated the sentence because of error. Wright was also arrested on March 18, 2004, on an allegation of having threatened to murder a child protection agent in connection with a child custody dispute. City police stopped Wright to arrest him for public intimidation and found videotapes inside his vehicle and later pornography on his computer disks. On appeal before the Second Circuit Court, the convictions in the 26th Judicial District Court were affirmed, but the lengthy sentences were tossed out pending resentencing.
