On Friday, a call of disturbance escalated to a tragic outcome in Allen Parish, where the involvement of the Allen Parish Sheriff's Office (APSO) with a resident on Ward Line Road in Kinder led to an in-custody death.

Subsequently, the subject exhibited medical distress, leading to their transport to a nearby hospital, where they ultimately died. The statement given by LSP clarified, "No deputies were injured during the incident."
