BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana lawmakers say they will question the former head of the state police about his handling of the deadly 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene. A bipartisan committee investigating Greene’s death plans to call former Col. Kevin Reeves as soon as next week to discuss his response to Greene’s violent death and what Gov. John Bel Edwards knew about the case as he sought reelection. State troopers initially blamed Greene’s death on a car crash after a high-speed chase in northeast Louisiana. But long-withheld body camera footage showed white troopers brutalizing Greene on a rural roadside.
