Treveion Brooks, William Isenhour, D’Andre Jackson, Civil Rights Violations, Louisiana 2020

Shreveport, Louisiana – In a shocking turn of events, three Shreveport Police Officers have been indicted on federal civil rights charges for assaulting two arrestees.

According to a recent indictment, Treveion Brooks, 26, William Isenhour, 25, and D’Andre Jackson, 25, are charged with deprivation of rights under color of law.

The indictment alleges that on January 24, 2020, Officer Brooks assaulted an arrestee, identified in the indictment only as D.R., resulting in bodily injury to D.R.

The indictment further alleges that Officers Isenhour and Jackson assaulted another arrestee, identified as C.B., resulting in bodily injury to C.B.

The civil rights charges carry a maximum penalty of ten years; actual sentences are often much lower than the statutory maximum.

This case was investigated by the FBI. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mary Mudrick and Cadesby Cooper of the Western District of Louisiana and Trial Attorney Anita Channapati of the Civil Rights Division are prosecuting the case.

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and Acting U.S. Attorney Alexander C. Van Hook of the Western District of Louisiana made the announcement.

An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence of guilt, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

The Shreveport Police Officers are expected to face the consequences of their actions and will have to appear in court to face these charges.

In a statement, the authorities said, ‘We take allegations of police misconduct very seriously and will ensure that those responsible are held accountable.’

This case serves as a reminder that police officers are not above the law and will be held accountable for their actions.

The outcome of this case will be closely watched by the community and will serve as a precedent for future cases of police misconduct.
