The FBI's investigation of Mike Edmonson has focused in part on his extensive travel as the head of the Louisiana State Police, with agents interviewing current and former pilots about Edmonson's prolific use of state helicopters, according to two law enforcement officials familiar with the inquiry. The bureau has been following up on allegations outlined in a legislative audit that accused Edmonson of taking an array of handouts and tapping state resources for his family's benefit. Agents have questioned a growing list of state troopers — and even inmates who once cooked for Edmonson and his family — and reviewed policies and procedures related to State Police travel, according to two other sources with knowledge of the probe. The federal inquiry has tracked the legislative audit in many respects, with some officials saying they fielded similar questions from both auditors and agents. But the feds appear to have cast a broader net, reviewing helicopter log books and other travel records related to the frequent trips Edmonson took during his nine years as superintendent.

This is typical Louisiana. ...nothing new at all.

What bothers me is that it is always well after the fact before it is stopped.

Why not have some oversight so the problem doesn't have the chance to develop?

Edmonson has done nothing that the person before him has done. You can go back and track the Gov. and all department heads on all the frindge benefits they get or take advantage of. Shoot I'm a tax payer and got to see first hand while staying at the Gov. mansion. You would not believe.

I understand he may be your friend, but he's a criminal.
Serve him justice.

It's in the oast....what really irritated me that we use resources on petty shite like this.
He's gone, put safeguards in place to make sure it doesn't continue, but let it go. Like mentioned before, he has done anything that every other before him hasn't done. If there's no grand theft of cash....LET IT GO.
Oh the horror, an inmate cooked for his family
