State AG Investigating Caddo Judge

The Shreveport Times reports that the state attorney general's office is investigating whether battery charges should be filed against First JDC District Judge Michael Walker. The investigation stems from an altercation at Shreveport City Court a few weeks ago when Judge Walker allegedly chest-butted a deputy as the judge passed through a metal detector. Judge Walker has sent a letter seeking an apology from the marshal's office and the termination of the deputy involved in the dispute.
