14th JDC Judge Expects Sheriff to Provide Courthouse Security

The American Press reports that Chief Judge David Painter, of the 14th JDC, said Tuesday that he has told Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Beth Lundy that all of the 14th JDC judges feel that the sheriff is required to provide security at the parish courthouse. The opinion is in response to indications from the sheriff's office that it might need to reduce the number of security officers because of budget restraints.
