According to a release from the District Attorney's Office, Caddo Parish Sheriff Deputy Ryan Chapman has been indicted by a grand jury on one count of Malfeasance In Office for his involvement in the death of a man who was in police custody.

On March 18th, Chapman and other officials went to a property on Pecan Road to execute a search warrant.
