re: Some Interesting Louisiana Police History

If your dad worked out of Troop I during that time frame, my father and him worked together. My dad retired after 21 years with the LSP in 1983. He was involved in the man hunt following Trooper Clevelands murder. The story he tells is that had it not been for other agencies being present when Dalton Prejean was found, he would have been shot and a gun would have been "found" on him. He also tells lots of interesting stories about having to protect civil rights marchers as they went through the Livingston Parish area on the way to the State Capitol. Fwiw, he never killed a dog!
