Indicted last year on state felony
charges of malfeasance in office after beating two unarmed motorists, three
Louisiana police officers were recently indicted on federal charges of
deprivation of rights under color of law.
On January 24, 2020, Shreveport
police officers reportedly attempted to pull over Chico Bell and his passenger,
Damon Robinson, for seat belt violations as they were leaving a private
residence. Instead of immediately stopping, Bell continued to drive while
allegedly throwing several items out of the window of his Chevrolet truck.
According to a dash cam video from
a Caddo Parish Sheriff’s deputy who assisted with the pursuit, Bell stopped his
truck before he and Robinson placed their empty hands outside the vehicle in an
attempt to surrender. Despite the fact that Bell was not resisting or fighting
back, Shreveport police officers William Isenhour and D’Andre Jackson pulled
Bell through the driver’s side window.
Repeatedly punching, kicking, and
tasing Bell, the Shreveport cops caused him to suffer multiple injuries,
including a broken orbital
plate.
As Shreveport police officers
restrained Robinson’s empty hands, Officer Treveion Brooks allegedly punched
him in the face through the open truck window. After Robinson was taken to the
ground with his hands behind his back, Officer Brooks broke his nose in several
places by striking him with a flashlight.
The Caddo deputy noted that
Robinson was compliant
during the police encounter and offered no resistance. The Caddo deputy’s body
and dash camera video confirmed his assessment.
Police officials stated that they
later recovered the items thrown from Bell’s truck, including very small
amounts of ecstasy, cocaine, and a stolen gun. Bell was arrested for flight
from an officer, possession of Schedule I controlled dangerous substances,
possession of Schedule II controlled dangerous substances, obstruction of
justice, cyberstalking, and a fugitive matter, while Robinson was arrested for
resisting an officer.
The District Attorney’s office
dismissed all charges “due to unnecessary excessive force being used by SPD
officers to make the arrest.”
In June 2020, Brooks, Isenhour,
Jackson, and five other Shreveport police officers were indicted on state
charges of malfeasance in office for assaulting Bell and Robinson. On Friday,
Brooks, Isenhour, and Jackson were indicted on federal charges of deprivation
of rights under color of law.
The civil rights charges carry a
maximum penalty of ten
years in federal prison.
