NEW ROADS - New Roads Mayor Cornell Dukes terminated a captain and lieutenant in the New Roads Police Department Friday saying their positions have been eliminated.
Captain Delaney Lee and Lieutenant Mike Johnson were both handed their termination papers Friday.
Lee told WBRZ he believes his termination is direct retaliation from a WBRZ Investigative Unit report that aired in December that showcased Mayor Cornell Dukes using a police detail at the taxpayers expense. He s the only mayor in a city that size that uses a police detail.
