Sheriff Ricky Edwards – Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

After succeeding Cormier, Sheriff Ricky Edwards and his deputies engaged in stopping vehicles without probable cause and seizing assets under civil forfeiture laws. These illegal stops were reportedly conducted in a discriminatory manner, targeting Latinx drivers. The practices were so egregious that they became the subject of a Dateline investigation.
