NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A federal grand jury has indicted three
current and two former New Orleans police officers in the shooting
death of a man and subsequent burning of his body in a car found
near a police station after Hurricane Katrina.
The 11-count indictment, handed up Friday, accuses former
Officer David Warren, former Lieutenant Robert Italiano and current
Lieutenants Dwayne Scheuermann and Travis McCabe and Officer
Gregory McRae in the Sept. 2, 2005, slaying of 31-year-old Henry
Glover.
Federal prosecutors say Warren was immediately arrested and is
in federal custody. He is charged with unnecessarily shooting and
killing Glover and with unlawfully using a firearm to commit the
crime. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison and a $250,000
fine.
The other defendants face other charges, including obstruction
of justice.
