On Monday the Louisiana State Police arrested four troopers accused of using excessive force, deactivating their body-worn cameras and making false statements about two arrests in 2019 and 2020.
A months-long investigation found three of the four troopers arrested Monday include 26-year-old George Harper, 28-year-old Dakota DeMoss and 30-year-old Jacob Brown. All three troopers face state charges of simple battery and malfeasance in office in connection with a police chase that occurred in May 2020.
The other officer, 34-year-old Randall Dickerson is accused of using excessive force, deactivating his body camera and making false statements while handcuffing a driver in 2019.
The newly appointed State Police superintendent, Col. Lamar Davis said the use of force in both instances was “inexcusable and tarnishes the exemplary work of our dedicated men and women.” He told troopers in an email obtained by the Associated Press “although we once again face a situation that will undoubtedly bring negative public attention to our agency, we must remain committed to holding each other accountable.”
