Former Police Officer in Louisiana Arrested for Obstruction of Justice and Malfeasance in Office After Allegedly Providing Confidential Information to Criminals
The Baton Rouge Police Department confirmed on September 1, 2022, that they arrested 27-year-old Richmond Barrow for his role in providing confidential law enforcement information with individuals engaging in criminal activities. In June 2022, the BRPD launched an inquiry based on an alleged complaint.
Detectives were able to acquire enough evidence during the course of the investigation to lead to Barrow’s arrest.
Barrow was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for Obstruction of Justice and Malfeasance in Office.
Barrow was a four-year member of the Baton Rouge Police Department who resigned on August 31, 2022.
An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. A person is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
