Three former Shreveport police officers have been acquitted of federal civil rights violation.

On Wednesday, May 17, former officers, William Isenhour, D’Andre Jackson and Treveion Brooks were found not guilty of civil rights violation in U.S. District Court.

Trial began on May 9, and after seven days of deliberation the verdict came down acquitting the officers of the violation.

The officers were indicted in October 2021 on federal civil rights charges.

According to the indictment, on or about Jan. 24, 2020, Brooks, while acting in an official capacity, allegedly used unjustified force by punching an arrestee in the face and body.

The indictment further alleged that on that same day, Isenhour and Jackson used unjustified force against another individual by punching that person in the face and body.
