BATON ROUGE - Hundreds of cases involving drug arrests made by BRPD could be affected amid allegations of corruption within the department s narcotics division.
The NAACP and Black Legislative Caucus said Monday they want the East Baton Rouge District Attorney s Office to review cases handled by BRPD s narcotics officers. In a joint statement released Monday, the groups said were profoundly disturbed by the accusations coming out of the department.
The WBRZ Investigative Unit reported earlier this month that BRPD was conducting an internal investigation into its narcotics department following the arrest of one of its officers. Last month, Jason Acree was charged after he allegedly took seized drugs being housed at the department and gave them to a friend.
