Another in-custody death probed
By KELLY P. KISSEL | Metro editor A hungry crowd turned out for meals provided by St. Vincent de Paul on Thanksgiving Day. Many of those who showed up said the higher cost of living made the holiday tough this year. A new lawsuit claims law officers in Washington Parish violated the civil rights of a man wanted on drug charges. The suspect died after being struck with leads from a Taser. The man was taken to the Bogalusa police station; his family says police department protocol required a trip to a hospital. Our crack staff of sports writers weighs in with picks for this weekend's LSU football game at Texas A&M. There's no doubt the Aggies will try to salvage a disappointing season Saturday night. |
