La. lawmakers make a new addition to the violent crimes list
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - There’s a new law in Louisiana that closes a loophole that left some victims of violent crime vulnerable.
HB583 adds the crime of false imprisonment while armed with a dangerous weapon to the list of crimes of violence.
This could mean more jail time for anyone convicted of holding someone against their will with a weapon. One of the driving forces of the change is a woman who was once held captive at knifepoint.
