BATON ROUGE- Baton Rouge Police recently completed an investigation into allegations made by LSU Football Player Koy Moore and have cleared the officers to return to patrolling the streets of Baton Rouge, WBRZ learned Tuesday (12/15).

But, Baton Rouge Police said the case technically remains open and have refused to release body camera footage related to the incident. Last week, those officers returned back to work full time when the investigation wrapped up but were on a light-duty assignment which kept them off the streets while the investigation continued, which recently occurred.

The officers were placed on administrative leave immediately after the incident with Moore.

Baton Rouge Police said the case is still considered open because the officers are awaiting a disciplinary hearing.

A department spokesperson said its customary in certain cases to allow officers to return to regular duty after being cleared through an internal investigation but while awaiting a formal hearing.

Last month, the Baton Rouge Police Union said it was confident body camera video would exonerate the officers.

"The video has been viewed by multiple attorneys, including our own. We believe it will vindicate the officers who are currently on leave," the union said.
