UPDATE, 3:20 p.m.: Attorney Bill Goode, who is representing Broussard, issued the following statement:
“I just learned of Chief Broussard’s indictment. I have not seen it. I’m vaguely familiar with some of the allegations, but I don’t know any of the details. I do know — I am confident Chief Broussard is not guilty of that of which he is charged and we will ultimately get him exonerated. It’s going to take a while, but it’s going to happen.”
ORIGINAL POST: CROWLEY, La. (KLFY) — Crowley Police Chief Allen James “Jimmy” Broussard has been arrested on three charges of malfeasance in office, two charges of obstruction of justice and one charge of injuring public records.
