Natchitoches police chief Mickey Dove has confirmed the arrest of Parish President John Richmond and Brad Haigler on grounds of simple battery.
A disturbance between the two and an employee at Maglieaux’s Restuarant, where Richmond is the owner, was investigated by police in May and on June 18, a video was shared on a Facebook page, Unheard Voices of Natchitoches, by Dominique O’Con of the altercation.
Richmond declined to comment.
We will have more details soon.
