Louisiana State Trooper Arrested After Allegedly Violating a Protective Order Stemming from a Domestic Incident

Alexandria, Louisiana – On December 5, 2022, Louisiana State Police (LSP) stated that on November 7, 2022, 31-year-old Nick Ducote and his spouse were charged with domestic violence following a domestic violence investigation begun by the Marksville Police Department (MPD). MPD issued criminal summonses to both people. The Avoyelles Parish Sheriff’s Office secured and enforced a restraining order on Ducote on November 9, 2022. He was consequently placed on administrative leave.

Ducote allegedly violated the protective order on December 3, 2022, and the 12th Judicial District Court issued an arrest warrant for him. Without incident, he was apprehended and placed in the Avoyelles Parish Sheriff’s Office Jail.

Ducote, who has worked for LSP since 2014, was not on duty at the time of both events. He is presently assigned to Patrol at Troop E in Alexandria, Louisiana, and is on administrative leave until the criminal and administrative investigations are completed.

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.
