Zwolle Assistant Police Chief Arrested for Allegedly Staging Patrol Unit Shooting

Zwolle, LA — Sabine Parish Sheriff Aaron Mitchell confirmed the arrest of Zwolle Assistant Police Chief Christopher Scott Goodman, 48, of Many, Louisiana, after investigators determined he allegedly staged the shooting of his own patrol unit early Sunday morning, October 26, 2025.

According to Sheriff Mitchell, Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Detectives began investigating after Goodman reported that an unknown vehicle pulled up beside him on U.S. Highway 171 near Old Pleasant Hill and began firing at his patrol car while he was on duty. Goodman’s report initially triggered a large-scale law enforcement response, including assistance from Louisiana State Police Troop E.

However, after several days of investigation, detectives uncovered significant inconsistencies in Goodman’s story. Digital evidence, ballistic testing, and multiple witness statements contradicted his version of events, leading investigators to believe the shooting was fabricated.

Following a joint investigation between SPSO and LSP, detectives obtained a warrant for Goodman’s arrest. He was booked into the Sabine Parish Detention Center on the following charges:

• Malfeasance in Office (Felony)
• Obstruction of Justice (Felony)
• Tampering with Evidence (Felony)
• Criminal Damage to Property ($1,000–$50,000) (Felony)
• Criminal Mischief (Misdemeanor)

No bond has been set. Sheriff Mitchell stated that Goodman remains an employee of the Zwolle Police Department but has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation.

Authorities say the case remains active as additional evidence, including forensic analysis of the patrol vehicle and weapon, is being reviewed.

Love Shreveport-Bossier will continue monitoring this developing case and provide official updates as new verified information becomes available.

Shreveport Councilman Grayson Boucher Says If We Don't Act Now, Downtown May Be Lost

Shreveport, La -- The footage, which has been widely shared across social media, depicts a chaotic scene involving multiple individuals on Texas Street, raising concerns about safety and public behavior in the city’s entertainment district.

While Shreveport City Councilman Boucher said he would not repost or share the video out of respect for the community, he expressed deep concern over what it represents and called for accountability.

“I’m not sharing the video, because frankly it’s just too disgusting. People have been reaching out to me the last 24 hours since this video surfaced asking how this could happen on our Main Street. What are we as city leaders going to do to bring civility back to our downtown? I don’t have the answers, I’m not even sure I know where to start. I believe it might be time for the Mayor to request assistance from the Governor’s Office and the Attorney General. If we don’t act now, downtown may be lost. I hope local law enforcement will hold every one of these individuals accountable.” — Grayson Boucher, Shreveport City Councilman, District D

The Shreveport Police Department confirmed increased patrols and enhanced enforcement were in place in the downtown area but stated they can't be everywhere due to manpower shortages and the fact that criminals tend to stay away from police officers when committing crimes.

City officials say discussions are underway to review security measures, lighting, and permitting processes for downtown events, as part of a broader strategy to restore safety and order in the city’s entertainment corridor.

Love Shreveport-Bossier will continue monitoring the situation and provide updates as more information is released from city and law enforcement officials.

Arrest Made in Fatal Greenwood Road Hit-and-Run That Killed Shreveport Man

Shreveport, LA — Shreveport Police have arrested a suspect in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash that claimed the life of 37-year-old Dwayne Kinchen on October 20, 2025, along Greenwood Road.

Following a detailed follow-up investigation by the Shreveport Police Department’s Crash Investigation Unit, Demarcus L. Brown (DOB 04/10/1992) has been taken into custody and charged with Felony Hit-and-Run (La. R.S. 14:100) and Obstruction of Justice (La. R.S. 14:130.1).

The crash occurred around 9:17 p.m. in the 3300 block of Greenwood Road, where officers arrived to find Kinchen lying unresponsive in the roadway. Shreveport Fire Department medics transported him to Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, where he was later pronounced deceased from his injuries.

Investigators determined that Kinchen had been sitting in the middle of the eastbound lane when he was struck by a white pickup truck that immediately fled the scene. Detectives collected physical evidence and witness statements that ultimately led them to identify Brown as the suspected driver.

After several days of investigation, SPD detectives obtained warrants and arrested Brown without incident.

The case remains active as detectives continue reviewing evidence to determine what led to the crash and the suspect’s actions afterward.
