In June 2010, Deputy Alice Johnson conducted a strip search of an 11-year-old girl, Preslee Scallion, without parental consent at the Natchitoches Sheriff’s Office 911 Center. The search involved the minor removing all clothing, including underwear, and performing a squat and cough procedure. This incident led to a lawsuit alleging violations of the minor’s constitutional rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. The court found that there were genuine issues of material fact regarding the legality of the search, and the case proceeded to trial. The outcome of the trial is not specified in the available information.
