"Baton Rouge Police Officers Arrested and Face Misconduct Charges Amid Investigations"

Three Baton Rouge police officers, including a deputy police chief, have been arrested on felony charges related to an alleged police "torture warehouse." The charges include malfeasance in office, obstruction of justice, theft, and simple battery. The arrests come after an incident in which officers strip searched, hit, and used Tasers on a man who was under arrest, which was recorded on a body-worn camera. The department is also facing federal investigations and multiple lawsuits for other alleged misconduct, including assault in the "Brave Cave" warehouse. The police chief has disbanded the street crime unit and encouraged citizens to report any further misconduct to the FBI.
