Minden police investigators are seeking assistance from the public to identify an individual who reportedly walked out of a local business with a stolen power tool.

On Friday, Oct. 24, at approximately 6:21 p.m., an unidentified white male arrived at the Ace Hardware, 807 Homer Rd., driving an older model red Chevrolet pickup truck.

He wore a blue shirt, gray jacket, blue jean pants, and brown boots. He was seen on camera selecting a Milwaukee power drill and concealing it underneath his right arm within his jacket. The man left the store with the unpaid Milwaukee power drill concealed on his person.

Staff at Ace Hardware valued the stolen Milwaukee power drill at approximately $330.

Anyone with information on the individual being sought for the theft is asked to call Det. Matthew Hicks at 318-639-7776, or police headquarters at 318-371-4226. All information will be strictly confidential.

After a very long day of testimony, the end result of a Police and Fire Civil Service hearing to reinstate Jason Smith to the Minden Police Department was a unanimous vote to deny.

Convening at 9 a.m. Thursday until well after 6:30 p.m., the board heard testimony from four of five Minden City Councilpersons, three Minden PD officers, the police chief and Smith.

Councilman Andy Pendergrass said during the executive session where the council made their unanimous decision to terminate Smith’s employment, they watched videos, listened to audios and and discussed if there were any way to save what he called a “valuable asset to the police department.”

“We looked for some other type of discipline that wasn’t termination,” Pendergrass said. “We get he was an asset and we didn’t want to lose that. But the things we couldn’t get past … we couldn’t get past the pre-termination hearing.”

Smith’s pre-termination hearing followed a meeting in June among Chief Jared McIver, Smith, Lt. Shane Griffith, Capt. Keith King, Det. Jason Lee and Det. Mathew Hicks, where McIver asked questions of the group concerning ways to make the department better.

The talk segued into discussion of the recent termination of Lt. Chris Hammontree when Smith asked questions of McIver concerning the reasons, saying officers were concerned they may arrest “the wrong person” and be fired. From there, it escalated into what McIver referred to as disrespectful, with raised voices and cursing.

“Lt. Smith said the district attorney was corrupt and it went all the way back down, which suggests to me that it went through me (chief), and the Internal Affairs investigators (Hicks and Griffith),” McIver said.

At the Thursday hearing, the same video and audio recordings were seen and heard by those in the audience. According to an audio recording, the discussion became heated, and led to some dissension among those officers present and Smith.

“Smith was insubordinate in the meeting … belligerent,” King said.

A disciplinary/pre-termination hearing was held July 10. Hicks testified that Smith appeared in a tee shirt, shorts and Crocs.

“That told me he didn’t want his job back,” Hicks said. “That’s not behavior indicative of a leader. He was argumentative and belligerent.”

Smith admitted to making comments about the DA and chief being corrupt but denied being disrespectful.

In the pre-termination hearing, and at other times, Smith said Griffith had threatened his family members.

“If he threatens my wife again, he will disappear,” Smith admitted to saying.

One board member asked Smith if he were to be reinstated, how would he be able to go back to the Minden Police Department with the person he threatened.

“I would continue doing what I have been doing,” he said. “I will come back and be productive.”

Following closing statements by legal counsel for City of Minden and Smith, the civil service board moved into executive session around 6:04 p.m. At 6:35, they returned to announce the unanimous vote to uphold Smith’s termination.

Jadarius Markray, 32, is wanted as a result of an incident that occurred on Oct. 22 of this year.

During the course of the investigation, the following two arrest warrants were issued for Jadarius Markray:

1. Theft of a motor vehicle. Bond is set a $15,000.

2. Transfer and Possession of stolen vehicles. Bond is set at  $45,000.

Anyone with information on Jadarius Markray is asked to please contact Minden Police Det. Matthew Hicks at 318-639-7776. All information will be strictly confidential.

State Fire Marshal deputies are continuing their investigation into the origin of  a Tuesday evening house fire that tragically claimed the life of a 66-year-old Doyline woman.

Officials have not released the name of the victim.

Webster Parish Fire District 3 in Doyline responded to the fire in the 100 block of Miller Rd. at approximately 10:13 p.m.  At this time, Fire Marshal deputies are trying to determine whether the residence was equipped with a working smoke alarm.

Louisiana State Fire Marshal, Chief Bryan J. Adams, urges all Louisiana residents to protect their homes with functioning smoke alarms.

“Smoke alarms save lives,” Adams said. “If individuals don’t have one or need assistance with installation, the state’s Operation Save-A-Life program offers free smoke alarms and installation services.”

This week is full of weather changes. We’ve had rain, heat, and now finally cool weather. It’s probably about time to pull in your outside plants. That’s not a fun project. Leaves falling off, watering, and bugs to deal with. One of the most loved plants in the south is the Boston Fern. Almost every house and yard around the south has at least 2 Boston Ferns hanging around the porch or patio. Replacing the ferns every year could get to be pricey.

A few things that you can do to care for them is to bring inside. First inspect the basket for pest. Look for spider mites and aphids. Trim the foliage back and spray with a spinosad product, such as Fertilome Spinosad soap. This come as a concentrate or a ready to use bottle. Spinsosad is an organic product if you like to use those. After drying, you can bring inside and water every week or so.

Geraniums are also a plant that be wintered inside. Trim really well, spray with spinosad, let dry and bring in. Some people pull out of the pot and store bare root.

Wintering your plants is a little work to do, but it usually worth the trouble. It saves you money the next spring, but you also get a head start in the spring.

Additional charges have been filed against a former Webster Parish detective following the completion of an investigation conducted by the state Attorney General’s office.

Spencer W. White, 51, was officially charged Wednesday with one count of malfeasance in office and two counts of trespass against state computers for activities described as intentionally performed in an unlawful manner. Bond on the additional charges is set at $15,000.

White was already facing felony charges including malfeasance in office, three counts of forgery and one count of filing or maintaining public records. At the time of his arrest in June, his bond was set at $185,000.

He was terminated as a result of an internal affairs investigation into potential misconduct. Webster Parish Sheriff Jason Parker referred the matter to the Attorney General’s office for further criminal investigation.

Two Springhill men have been arrested in connection with a shooting at an apartment complex earlier this month where three individuals reportedly were wounded.

Chief of Police Will Lynd said the men, 21-year-old Tytravion Jauntez Mendenhall and 29-year-old Alex Ja’kar Johnson, were arrested Monday on warrants in connection with the incident at the Camelot Apartments.

Lynd said Mendenhall has been charged with illegal use of a firearm during a crime of violence. He reportedly is being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center under a $50,000 bond. Lynd said he was arrested without incident.

Johnson’s charges include illegal use of a firearm during a crime of violence, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, dating partner abuse with child endangerment and three counts of possession of CDS Sch. II with intent to distribute.

He is also booked at BDCC looking at bonds totaling $272,500.

Lynd said Springhill officers received information that Johnson was at a residence in the 200 block of Maple St., but would not respond when police arrived and knocked on the door. An arrest warrant was obtained and he was eventually taken into custody.

Johnson reportedly had also been the subject of an investigation by the Springhill PD’s narcotics unit concerning illegal drug activities.

Johnson and Mendenhall are accused of being involved in the shooting where three individuals, including a 14-year-old and a six-year-old received wounds.

“One individual was hit in the hip, the 14-year-old was struck in the hand and the six-year-old took some shrapnel but wasn’t seriously hurt,” Lynd said.

Lynd said investigators are still gathering information to determine the cause of the shootings. More arrests are expected, he said.

A late Tuesday night residential fire has claimed the life of an elderly Doyline woman, and investigators are still looking for clues to a cause.

District 3 Fire Chief David Cotty said the victim’s name has not been released while the state fire marshal continues to look into case.

Cotty said a neighbor reported the blaze around 10:15 p.m. Tuesday and by the time firefighters arrived, the structure was fully involved.

“It was a mobile home and by the time we got on scene the walls had totally collapsed,” Cotty said. “The fire marshal is investigating but it could be difficult to determine a cause due to the extent of the damage.”

From LaMa Animal Rescue:

Every day, the dedicated volunteers at LaMa Animal Rescue face an overwhelming challenge — the growing crisis of abandoned, neglected, and unwanted pets in our community. It’s a heartbreaking reality: too many animals, not enough homes, and far too few hands to help.

But there is hope, and that hope begins with you.

LaMa Animal Rescue works tirelessly to give second chances to dogs and cats that would otherwise have nowhere to go. Each wagging tail and grateful purr represents countless hours of care, cleaning, feeding, vetting, and love. Without this effort, our community would look very different, hundreds of animals wandering the streets, injured, hungry, frightened, or worse — euthanized because there simply wasn’t space or help available.

Imagine driving through our neighborhoods and seeing stray dogs darting through traffic, or hearing the cries of hungry kittens with no safe place to go. That’s what life would look like without LaMa Animal Rescue.

The Cost of Doing Nothing is Enormous!

The truth is, this isn’t just an animal problem, it’s a community problem. When animals are abandoned or left to breed unchecked, the burden falls on everyone.

• Financially, taxpayers shoulder the costs of animal control and public safety issues.
• Physically, volunteers and rescuers become exhausted trying to keep up.
• Emotionally, it takes a toll on everyone who cares about compassion and kindness in our town.

But when we work together, the cost becomes lighter, the burden easier, and the difference immeasurable.

We Need Helping Hands — of Every Kind!

You don’t have to foster or adopt to make a difference. Every small act of service counts.
LaMa Animal Rescue urgently needs volunteers who can give a few hours of their time to help with:

• Laundry — washing blankets and towels that comfort scared shelter pets.
• Transporting — driving animals to vet visits.
• Dog Walking, Brushing or Bathing — giving shelter dogs a moment of love and freedom.
• Shelter Repairs & Maintenance — minor repairs, painting, mowing, or small building projects.

Even one afternoon of your time can lighten the load for others and directly improve the life of a homeless pet.

A Community United in Compassion

We’re also calling on church groups, civic organizations and local clubs to adopt one weekend per month for a special volunteer project. Whether it’s cleaning kennels, building dog runs, assisting with fundraising events or helping with spay/neuter outreach, your group can be the reason a scared, forgotten animal finds hope again.

Imagine if every group in Webster Parish gave just one weekend a year, the shelter would thrive, the animals would flourish, and the entire community would see the difference compassion makes.

Together, We Can Turn the Tide

LaMa Animal Rescue is more than a shelter, it’s a symbol of who we are as a community.
It represents kindness over convenience, compassion over apathy, and action over silence.
We can’t do it alone, but together, we can save lives, restore hope, and create the kind of community we all want to live in.

🐾 Please volunteer, donate, or spread the word today.
Because when everyone does a small part, we create something truly extraordinary — a community that cares.
