The Louisiana Attorney General Office tells News Channel 5 that it had "no knowledge" that Norris Greenhouse, Jr. was taking a vacation ahead of his October murder trial.

Greenhouse, Jr. is charged with the November 2015 murder of Jeremy Mardis, 6, and the attempted murder of his father, Chris Few. He is currently out on $1 million bond.

Ruth Wisher, the press secretary for the Attorney General's Office, released this statement, "The Louisiana Department of Justice had no knowledge that the defendant would be traveling to the U.S. Virgin Islands."

We reached out to George Higgins, the attorney for Greenhouse, Jr., and are awaiting a call back.

Greenhouse, Jr. is under ankle bracelet monitoring and is allowed to travel as a condition of his bail.

Avoyelles Parish judge, William Bennett, has also ordered that Greenhouse Jr. be in court on September 8 for a bail hearing on constructive contempt of court, and to show why bail should not be revoked.

We are working to find more details about why this hearing was called. We have reached out to Higgins about it, but have yet to hear back from him.
