NEW ORLEANS — A man hoping to become a New Orleans police officer was instead arrested last week in connection with a 2016 homicide in Chicago.
Justin Matthew Payne, 26, is being held on a fugitive warrant in the Orleans Parish Jail, according to records. Payne is a suspect in the December 2016 slaying of Luis Pena, a 64-year-old trucking company owner.

Pena, who was Payne’s former boss, was found bludgeoned to death in the office trailer of his company, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Responding officers initially thought he had been shot, but his autopsy showed that he was stabbed and beaten to death.

Payne was a suspect in the slaying, but the case remained unsolved nearly a year later when he applied in October to become a New Orleans policeman. Beau Tidwell, a New Orleans Police Department spokesman, told The Advocate that Payne had passed the civil service exam and a criminal background check.

A friend of mine who’s a nopd Officer has told me once he thinks he’s just in some kind of twisted social experiment. That department is so screwed up.

Man if I just killed someone, the last people I would ever want to talk to would be a cop much less actually get with a few thousand feet of them.

This moron did more than that, he did do something so stupid like willingly applying to be a cop and give them his info to look into him.

He deserves to be thrown in jail for his stupidity.

The psych exams are nothing but a series of questions often repeated using different terminology. If your a sociopath, they're pretty easy to pass. You just need to understand what kind of answers they want

I know of several former officers who spent years on the force who are absolutely batshit. As in the type that would probably agree to fight a suspect just to prove he could beat their arse.

I don't know why they are no longer cops, but the absolute insanity that I've seen out of NOPD is not matched by any department.
