Monroe, LA – Louisiana State Police (LSP) say a Monroe trooper has been placed on leave after a DWI arrest in Madison Parish this morning (Sun., Oct. 15).
According to LSP, shortly after 3 a.m., the Madison Parish Sheriff’s Office contacted LSP Troop F in reference to a single-vehicle crash involving an off-duty LSP trooper.
