Just another day in New Orleans



From the article:


NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Former New Orleans police officer Jeffrey Vappie was indicted by a federal grand jury on Friday (July 19) on charges of wire fraud and making false statements to the FBI.

The indictment includes allegations that former NOPD Interim Superintendent Michelle Woodfork was pressured to dismiss an internal investigation into Vappie and her refusal to do so may have cost her the job.

After a Public Integrity Bureau hearing concerning his timesheets, Vappie reportedly asked Woodfork to “make it right,” when reviewing the investigation’s findings.

The indictment claims Woodfork was informed by Mayor LaToya Cantrell that she would not be nominated for the permanent superintendent. The indictment mentions an in-person meeting between Woodfork and Cantrell that Vappie was in attendance for. . .
