WEST BATON ROUGE PARISH - A grand jury has indicted West Baton Rouge sheriff's deputy Ben Arceneaux after a series of reports by the Investigative Unit uncovered a number of sexual misconduct allegations against the officer.

On Friday, a grand jury unanimously indicted Arceneaux on malfeasance charges. Prosecutors have asked that a felony warrant for Arceneaux be issued Friday.

The allegations against Arceneaux first surfaced earlier this year after the WBRZ Investigative Unit spoke with several of his alleged victims. One of those women claimed Arceneaux demanded oral sex from her during a traffic stop.

PORT ALLEN, LA (WAFB) - A West Baton Rouge Parish grand jury has indicted two former Brusly police officers, Anthony “Kip” Dupre and Dan Cipriano, for the actions they took during the arrest of a 14-year-old student at Brusly Middle School.

The grand jury indicted Dupree on a charge of malfeasance and Cipriano on a charge of simple battery.

On Oct. 5 2018, an unnamed 14-year-old was in the main office. A video leaked to WAFB shows Dupre wrestling with the student and slamming him to the ground twice.

Then, the second officer, Cipriano, entered the office. After the student was placed in handcuffs, the video shows Cipriano stand the boy up and then slam him down face first into a desk before pulling the teen back up and escorting him out the door.
