Private investigator linked to Vitter campaign arrested, accused of recording Sheriff Newell Normand [View all]

A Texas private investigator was arrested Friday (Oct. 23) in Jefferson Parish after Sheriff Newell Normand said he caught the man recording his conversation with others at an Old Metairie coffee shop, according to our partners at WVUE Fox 8 News.

The investigator, Robert J. Frenzel, ran away after Normand confronted him, according to Fox 8.

Normand, who has endorsed Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne in the governor's race, told WVUE he believes Frenzel was spying on behalf of U.S. Sen. David Vitter.

Texas Department of Public Safety records show Frenzel works for the J.W. Bearden and Associated, an investigative agency in Dallas. Vitter's campaign paid the company more than $130,000 in legal fees this year, according to campaign finance records.
