On Feb.26, Caddo Commissioner John-Paul Young filed a Declaratory Judgment action to determine the rights of Shreveport Police to arrest squatters in vacant houses. The named defendant is Mayor Tom Arceneaux for the City of Shreveport.
All the Caddo judges recused themselves from the case.
The Supreme Court has now appointed retired Judge James H. Boddie, Jr. of Ruston, as judge pro tem to hear the case. No date has yet been set for the hearing.
