Wall of text FB post that is being spread around Monroe tonight. I had heard about a parent at OCS going missing, well, she had been arrested. Crazy story:

I AM FOUND!!! Thank you to everyone that went searching for me, and helped Hannah Gray and Karen in locating my last steps to help lead them to finding me… These last several days have been anguishing for me – and in an effort to keep people from gossiping, I decided that I would post this to social media friends, to alert you to the facts of what has happened. The following is a brief synopsis of what occurred over the last 48 hours: On Tuesday, after lunch, I picked up my teaching balls to head out to OCS to teach some of my high school students their private tennis lessons. On my way to the school, I had determined to go to the Post Office on Shannon Street, and then to the Sonic to get myself and students ice water, and finally make a large deposit at Progressive to cover automatic drafts that I knew were about to occur. I had just left the post office and basically ‘zig-zagged’ from one parking lot into the Sonic parking lot. While trying to decide whether or not to go thru the drive thru – or to pull into a car slot, I noticed a newer police suburban with lights on behind me. In an effort to quickly get out of their way, I drove straight thru the Sonic parking lot and onto North 18th Street to give them space. The police vehicle continued behind me, so I pulled into the Regions Bank parking lot. A black female officer approached me with a strong “Alpha” attitude, and requested my license, insurance, and registration. I asked her why she had pulled me over and she told me that I had made an illegal turn ‘back there’. I asked at ‘what point did that happen?’, because I had just left the post office and turned from one parking lot into another – and when she didn’t answer she said that she had been following me for quite a while. I knew this to not be truthful – but didn’t argue with her. She left and approached my car again and asked me to step out of my car. I complied and next thing I knew she was throwing me against the car, hand cuffing me, and reading me my rights. I asked her what in the world was this about – and she told me that I had a warrant for my arrest due to an unpaid traffic ticket. I told her that this was a mistake, and suggested that we call my attorney and allow this to be taken care of – It had to be a mistake. She began using vile language to tell me to basically ‘shut up’ and she wasn’t willing to converse with me. I told her that I needed to retrieve my belongings from the car – She asked what did I have – I answered, my handbag, car keys, and a bank deposit. She told me she would get my things after she put me in the car. She did so – and then retrieved my belongings and kept them with her. She had handcuffed me, and my hands were bruising from how tight they were. I asked if she would mind loosening them, that they were extremely painful. She told me they were not made for my F***** comfort. I decided that I not need to speak to her any further, but could feel my eyes stinging with tears… I went to the MPD for booking – which at the time was very chaotic… I asked the attendant if I could please call my attorney and get this whole thing sorted out… I was told to shup up and sit down – and wait my turn. (In language fit for the slums.) I was booked, and complied with everything they asked – Before I knew it – I was sent to Richwood and booked there as well. It also was chaotic with vile language and treatment. I asked to please make my phone call, that my family had no idea where I was… Again – I was told to shut up. I was cuffed to a bench for a while, and then a female officer approached me and told me she was taking me to Richland Parish Detention Center. I asked why – and was told that this is where they send female inmates. I promised to make this short – and obviously it isn’t – I apologize… I arrived at Richland and was subsequently cuffed to a bench where I waited four – five hours before I was ever spoken to. A female officer walked by, stopped, and asked my name. I told her ‘Kelly Taylor’. She uttered and expletive and walked into an office. Minutes later she came out with two white females, and again asked my name. I told her again – and she began a subsequent list of questions regarding my height, weight, race, age, hair color, eye color, bday, etc… I was sitting right in front of her – and finally she let loosed several expletives… She looked at the two white women and exclaimed – that ‘somebody had certainly ‘f’d’ up – and that they were her witnesses. She held out a file with the photo of a black female, 5’8”, 185 lbs, with a criminal list pages long. She told me that she had been trying to find this person all of this time, and obviously, this person wasn’t here. I didn’t understand at first – but she told me that evidently, they had printed the wrong file for me, and that she was going to have to go see if she could have the correct file sent. Meanwhile – I remained cuffed to the chair… Another hour or so passed, and she came back with the correct paper work, and I asked her if she would mind sharing what my papers said. She told me that I had an expired inspection sticker ticket from 2008 that had never been paid. I told her that I had received several tickets over the last few years and no one had ever said anything about that before. How could this be? She told me that I would have to wait for court to see the judge before anything could be determined.

TLDR: Woman arrested for "illegal u-turn" in parking lot by black female cop who said she had followed for a while, even though woman just left post office. Woman gets booked for "unpaid inspection sticker ticket" from 2008. Not put in front of judge. Detained illegally. Money gets stolen from her by police.

Classic Monroe PD.
