They Didn't Fire Him the First Time?

An Avoyelles Parish Juvenile Detective was fired for forging a judge's signature, the Alexandria Town Talk reports. The Detective, who was sharing a home with a Bunkie police auxiliary officer, signed Judge William Bennett's name to a custody form, releasing a minor child to his father - the Bunkie officer roommate. The Detective was fired after the child was returned to the mother. Apparently, it was Deputy Ducote's second arrest in a year. In August, the 36-year-old pleaded guilty to criminal mischief after allegations surfaced that he and another man defrauded an insurance company.
