==Missing artifact case==

On November 17, 2025, Schexnayder was arrested and charged with felony theft and malfeasance in office in connection with a missing ancient cypress artifact in the Louisiana State Capitol. Online records from the East Baton Rouge Parish Jail show that he was released after posting bail in the amount of $10,000. The cypress board in question measures 20 feet by 6 feet. It was last seen at Schexnayder’s legislative office in Gonzales. The board, which may date back to the 8th century A.D., was harvested from the Maurepas Swamp. The wood was left behind when Schexnayder moved out of the office in 2024, having reached his term limit in the legislature. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://lailluminator.com/briefs/schexnayder-cypress/|title=Former Louisiana House speaker arrested for alleged cypress relic theft
