LPD Bugging Investigation: Indictments Handed Down UPDATE
Lafayette police chief Randy Hundley, along with three other
officers, have been indicted by a grand jury.
Chief Hundley must report to jail after a grand jury indicted him on
three counts of illegal electronic surveillance.
Arrest warrants will also be issued for three other officers as part
of the same case.
Police Chief Randy Hundley wrapped up his testimony around 4:00.
By 5:00, a grand jury returned three counts against the chief.
Chief Hundley is at the heart of an investigation in which he is
accused of placing a bug under his secretary's desk.
Hundley's attorney, Jason Robideaux confirmed the fact that it was
originally placed as part of an internal affairs case.
But, police sources say it was left there as a way to find out who in
the department was loyal to the chief.
Robideaux says there are other major elements that will be presented in trial.
Only Major Casey Fowler left the courthouse without an indictment.
Captain Michael Lavergne, Sgt. Brian Butler and Cpl. Shannon Hundley
also face charges in the case.
At least one of the detectives involved in a state police
investigation of the department was at the courthouse.
Information from that report prompted the district attorney's office
to send the case to the grand jury.
Prosecutors say they're confident the charges fit the crime.
