Clay Higgins, the charismatic Sheriff's captain who put St. Landry Parish Crime Stoppers on the international map with his viral videos, has resigned from the Sheriff's Office.

Higgins made the announcement Monday morning on the steps of the St. Landry Parish Courthouse. His press conference is happening now, so we will be adding more details shortly.

His announcement comes on the heels of some controversy surrounding the most recent video Higgins made about fugitives - which was not on behalf of Crime Stoppers. At the request of State Police, Higgins put together a video about seven suspects who have been on the run since last fall, accused members of the Gremlins Gang and under indictment on conspiracy charges.


quote:

However, the ACLU took issue with an advance copy of Higgins' script for the segment, and several people identifying themselves as family members of the accused gang members said they felt their relatives were in danger because of the segment.

Our news partner, KATC, reported Higgins has created his own Web store to sell merchandise with his quotes and his likeness to raise money to build a homeless shelter.

Let me guess. He's being called a raging racist despite having support from the black community leaders.

The State police asked him to make that video..

Sheriff Bobby Guidroz was quoted in the Daily World after the Gremlins video aired, saying Crime Stoppers had gotten away from its original message, and he didn't like calling out suspects and criticizing people.


I bet someone's ego was hurt.

when something like this happens, someone has some dirt on him and since he all of sudden became famous they have probably forced a hand.

I'm not surprised at all. It sucks that he's leaving because of what he said, but he should have known better than allow himself to be part to that video. In today's society, that get's 95% of people fired.

Please tell me he's resigning to take a position in leadership somewhere he's needed... like JPSO.

as to be expected, this turned into some race bullcrap.

Can't possibly say that black folks are committing alot of crimes because that's racist

People can't even commit crimes without fearing the wrath of the cops?

Thanks Obama.
