D.A. Collin Sims Appointed to Examine Indictment of A.G. Murrill

Press Release from District Attorney Collin Sims 

The integrity of our criminal justice system depends upon the public having faith and confidence in the grand jury process. Grand juries perform a vital function, and their work must be conducted with independence, fairness, and fidelity to the law.

The Louisiana Supreme Court has appointed me to examine the circumstances surrounding the decision to pursue the indictment of Attorney General Liz Murrill, including whether the process was proper and whether any criminal or ethical violations occurred in the pursuit of that indictment.

The grand jury is a powerful tool in our system of justice that can investigate and, where appropriate, return an indictment. Protecting public confidence in that institution means ensuring both that its independence is respected and that legitimate concerns about the integrity of the process are examined carefully. An important part of this review is to determine, based on the facts and the law, whether the grand jury was properly used and to confirm or dispel any concerns that it may have been misused.

I intend to follow the facts and the law wherever they lead, without prejudgment or outside influence. At the conclusion of this work, any findings or actions that may properly be made public will be addressed consistent with the law and obligations of this appointment.

Battery Complaint in Franklinton Leads to Arrest of Kentwood Man on Multiple Charges

On Wednesday (September 23, 2026), the Franklinton Police Department investigated a battery complaint involving an incident at the Liberty Inn motel. The complainant reported that a man she had met through social media held her at knifepoint inside a motel room. She later escaped and contacted police.

Officers returned to the motel and contacted the man, identified as 31-year-old Donte Burton of Kentwood, Louisiana. During his arrest, officers observed what appeared to be equipment and materials used to print checks. An investigator collected several cell phones, a computer, a printer, and several sheets of blank check paper for forensic examination.

The Franklinton Police Department Detective works in conjunction with the U.S. Secret Service Task Force and is working with its Forensics Lab in Metairie to examine the evidence.

Burton, who was wanted in several other jurisdictions, was booked on the charges of Resisting an Officer/Flight on Foot, Attempted Escape, Fugitive Other Jurisdiction (3 counts), and Aggravated Assault by the Franklinton Police Department and on the charges of Telephone  Harassment/Subsequent, False Imprisonment, Criminal Damage (2 counts), Theft of Firearm, and Domestic Abuse Battery/Strangulation by the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office. No bond has been set at this time. 

The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may follow.

Two Washington Parish Schools Placed on Lockdown/Two Arrested for Terrorizing

The Washington Parish Sheriff's Office reports that at approximately 10:15 a.m. today (Friday, September 25, 2026), two Washington Parish schools were placed on lockdown following a social media post involving a student.

Earlier, it was reported by the WPSO that a post was made on Facebook Friday (September, 2025) morning claiming that an individual armed with a firearm was present at a local school. Following an investigation, it was determined that the threat was a HOAX. As a precaution, area schools were placed on lockdown and once it was determined there was NO credible threat, the lockdowns were lifted. (The Washington Parish School System reported the lockdowns were initiated at Franklinton High and Mt. Hermon schools.)

The investigation further determined that the post was of an older video recording that previously circulated online. 

Hayden Stafford (age 18) and Lacey Richard (age 20) were arrested in connection with the social media post that prompted the lockdown. Both Stafford and Richard were charged with Terrorizing. 

***All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty***

“Regardless of intention, we respond to any post that could potentially be related to violent acts regarding schools. People need to understand the world is different and even careless jokes have consequences.” - Sheriff Smith

The investigation is ongoing
