MANSFIELD, La. – Complaints about voting precincts, the status of parish funding for a park that’s not been built in Logansport, a police juror’s defense that he was being targeted
MANSFIELD, La. â The DeSoto Parish Police Jury District 2 seat finally has representative.
It took two meetings, but the Police Jury has appointed Stonewall resident Bradley Sepulvado to fill the seat vacated last week with the resignation of Nicholas Gasper, who was sworn in Monday as a new district judge.
Sepulvado is a subdivision developer whoâs made DeSoto his home for decades. He does not plan to seek the office in the spring special election.
Sepulvado, who was immediately sworn in by District Judge Amy Burford McCartney, was the second person nominated for the position. Last week, Stonewall resident Kyle Kennington was nominated at the suggestion of Gasper. Jurors voted 5-4 against him despite the Police Juryâs long-standing tradition of honoring a fellow jurorâs recommendation.
