This is ridiculous gwheezie Nov 2015 #1
I wonder what the warrant was about Liberal_in_LA Nov 2015 #5
I believed I was lied to by the supervisor of the Marksville Police Department Tsiyu Nov 2015 #35
Based on info in this link, it appears arrest warrants are NOT public information mnhtnbb Nov 2015 #112
I feared that Louisiana had their own fucked up laws as they do for probate Tsiyu Nov 2015 #113
I cannot believe that whatever was in the warrant justified shooting into a car with a child in it. mnhtnbb Nov 2015 #114
No, there isn't any reason for the cops in LA to serve Tsiyu Nov 2015 #116

There was no warrant. NutmegYankee Nov 2015 #175
That has been out for a long time now, I don't know why that poster keeps repeating misinformation. Rex Nov 2015 #177

Do you know if they're obligated to release the warrant info? n/t OneGrassRoot Nov 2015 #17

No doubt about that. I'm trying to research stats re: warrants... OneGrassRoot Nov 2015 #34
