Chief Wayne Smith and the department moved quickly to address the concerns raised. Out of a commitment to accountability, they immediately initiated both criminal and administrative investigations.

The officers involved were placed on administrative leave, a standard procedure to ensure a fair and thorough investigation while protecting the department's integrity. As Chief Smith stated, "No one is above the law."

The investigation found that the three officers, Corporal Shanora Gipson Ross, Corporal Tarogie Jones, and Officer Kourtney Jackson, were responding to a call at a local casino.

The call involved a vehicle repossession, and during the process, items were allegedly taken from inside the vehicle. Some of these items were later recovered, while others were found in the Shreveport Police Department property room.

The officers have since been charged with theft and malfeasance in office.

The Shreveport Police Department thanked KSLA for bringing the matter to their attention, which allowed them to act swiftly and hold those involved accountable. You can see KSLA's latest video surrounding the situation below.
