Police in southern Louisiana launch an internal investigation following a confrontation with 2 Black teens, placing 1 officer on leave and removing 2 from regular duty, officials say.
"When officers arrived, they immediately handcuffed Jabari and read him his rights," Haley said in the statement.
Gerard was charged with interfering with a police investigation, resisting arrest, and battery of a police officer, while his brother Jabari was released without charges, Haley said.Lafayette police said the first teen they encountered was cooperative as officers patted him down for a weapon. But then a second teen “may have approached” the officers and “got into their personal space," according to Griffin.
