The Shreveport Police Department continues its aggressive initiative to remove firearms from the hands of individuals prohibited from possessing them. On May 22, multiple arrests were made as officers targeted illegal weapons across the city.

In the early morning hours, members of SPD’s Street Level Interdiction Unit—commonly known as the “Jump Out Boys”—executed a search warrant at a residence in Shreveport. During the operation, Damien Wright was arrested after being found in possession of several types of narcotics and a firearm. Wright now faces multiple charges, including felony possession of a firearm.

Later that same day, officers with the Directed Patrol Unit conducted a traffic stop that led to the arrest of Dale Robertson. Robertson was found to be in possession of a handgun. A subsequent investigation revealed that he is a convicted felon and therefore legally barred from owning or carrying a firearm. He was taken into custody and charged accordingly.

Not to be outdone, SPD’s Violent Crimes Abatement Team also executed a search warrant that led to the arrest of SirDarren Law. Law, a convicted felon, was found in possession of three firearms, including a stolen semi-automatic pistol, an additional semi-automatic pistol, and a shotgun. He was arrested and charged with felony possession of a firearm and additional firearm-related offenses.

These arrests highlight the continued commitment of the Shreveport Police Department to reducing gun violence by targeting those who illegally possess firearms.

“Our officers remain focused on removing illegal weapons from our community,” said SPD Chief Wayne Smith. “We will continue to take proactive steps to keep our neighborhoods safe.”
