According to reports, a former reserve deputy allegedly used his badge during illegal sales of cocaine to at least seven individuals.
The West Monroe Police Department and the Metro Narcotics Unit worked together to investigate a man they believed was selling narcotics and improperly using a law enforcement badge.
A Chief Deputy at the West Monroe City Marshal’s Office said the 49-year-old suspect had worked as a reserve deputy at the West Monroe Convention Center, but he had not been employed with the city since 2020, and the police department no longer worked with him after his separation.
