BATON ROUGE - A narcotics officer arrested twice in recent months amid a probe into corruption at the Baton Rouge Police Department is facing new charges.
BRPD announced during a news conference Monday that Officer Jason Acree would be booked on new charges including malfeasance and making false statements in an affidavit. Police said Acree was expected to turn himself in that afternoon, making it his third arrest since late February.
