Arrest made for Felon in Possession of Firearm
On April 4th at approximately 11:50 p.m. VICE officers observed a suspicious individual sitting in a vehicle in the 1000 block of Stoner Avenue and the Stoner Boat Lauch. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the individual, identified as 44-year-old James Owens, had a firearm. Subsequent inquiries revealed that James Owens was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a prior felony conviction. Consequently, Owens was taken into custody by VICE officers for the charge of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. The firearm in question was seized, and Owens was promptly transported to the Shreveport city jail for processing. Possession of firearms by convicted felons is a serious offense, and we will continue to diligently enforce the law to ensure the safety of our community.
