Baton Rouge Man Indicted in Federal Court for Kidnapping, Carjacking, Using and Carrying a Firearm During and In Relation to a Crime of Violence, and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon
On August 26, 2022, the Department of Justice U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of Louisiana announced that a federal grand jury recently returned a four-count indictment charging Treston Isiah Bickham, age 30, of Fluker, Louisiana, with kidnapping, carjacking, using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
According to the indictment, Bickham carjacked and kidnapped the victim on June 24, 2022. Bickham utilized a firearm during the conduct of these offenses, which he was not allowed to own since he had previously been convicted of a felony.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Baton Rouge Police Department are investigating the case, which is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kristen L. Craig.
NOTE: An indictment is an accusation by a grand jury. The defendant is presumed innocent until and unless adjudicated guilty at trial or through a guilty plea.
