BENTON, Louisiana (KTBS) A Bossier City attorney’s personal insurance company has paid the cash value of a taxpayer-owned vehicle he totaled after crashing it into a bayou last year.
State Farm paid the Bossier Parish District Attorney’s office $17,839 on behalf of its insured, H. Lyn Lawrence. Lawrence was out-of-pocket the $500 deductible required by his insurance policy.
Lawrence pleaded no contest in January in Bossier District Court to failure to report an accident. He was fined $100 plus court costs.
With that plea accepted and the appeal deadline passed, records related to the crash became public record and were obtained by KTBS.
