^ This story is really concerning and gaining a lot of national attention now.
The off-duty officers who were working as city marshals worked for the town's elected marshal, who is a bus driver with no law enforcement background or training. He has been the marshal for 12 years.
Recently, the mayor contacted the Attorney General because the elected marshal had started overstepping his bounds and sending warrant/subpoena-serving marshals in his unit out in police vehicles to patrol (which is the job of the police department, not the marshals).
One of the officers arrested for murder and attempted murder in the case was indicted on two counts of aggravated rape in October, 2011. Lt. Derrick Stafford was indicted by a Rapides Parish grand jury on two counts of aggravated rape, reports KATC - the station says it is waiting for records to see exactly how it was resolved.
The station also reported he has five pending civil lawsuits involving him in Avoyelles Parish and fellow officer Norris Greenhouse Jr. was also named in several of the suits.
For the head of the Louisiana State place to call the body cam footage of the pursuit/shooting of Chris Few and his son the "most disturbing thing he's seen", it's gotta be very bad.
