The revelations were followed by the retirement of Reeves and Chief of Staff Bob Brown, both of whom Paxton implicated in the agency s refusal to levy charges against one of the officers involved in Greene s death.
According to Paxton s notes, Master Trooper Chris Hollingsworth turned off his body camera before the arrest and beating that led to Greene s death, an act Paxton wrote merited an obstruction charge against the long-time trooper.
Paxton also recommended an aggravated assault charge against Hollingsworth, who faced being fired for his role in Greene s death, immediately before dying in a single-car crash in September 2020.
James praised Paxton and whistle-blowing Trooper Carl Cavalier, who was interviewed by WBRZ in Baton Rouge last week, for being role models within the department despite pressure from within the agency.
