The arrest followed an investigation initiated after Sheriff Jason Parker reported allegations of official misconduct involving former Detective Spencer White.
Sheriff Parker informed LBI agents that White allegedly accessed state law enforcement databases without authorization to obtain personal information about private citizens and handed this information over to relatives.
The investigation alleges White searched for sensitive information, including criminal histories and DMV records, at the request of a family member from out of state.
Among the breaches, LBI agents say they found that White obtained information on a “Protected Person,” who was a recent victim of domestic violence in Caddo Parish.
The LBI says that evidence suggests that this was not an isolated incident, as multiple unauthorized searches conducted by White were discovered.
Following these findings, White was terminated from his position at the sheriff’s office.
Today White was taken into custody without incident at the Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center under a warrant issued by the 26th Judicial District Court.
He faces two felony counts: malfeasance in office and trespassing against state computers.
His bond has been set at $15,000.
The investigation by the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation remains ongoing.
