BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Baton Rouge police officer Siya Creel has won his appeal and has gotten his job back.
BRPD Chief Murphy Paul fired Creel in December 2020, saying Creel violated departmental policy by doing an interview for a YouTube channel without getting prior approval. The interview was about billboards that had been placed around the parish that was critical of both the chief and the city’s high rate of homicides.
