Louisiana state trooper suspended for causing fatal crash Follow Us Question of the Day By - Associated Press - Friday, April 16, 2021 BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A Louisiana state trooper who is the son of the agency’s former leader was suspended for four and a half months without pay after investigators concluded his reckless driving caused a crash in Monroe last October that left a child and teenager dead from their injuries. Kaleb Reeves received the maximum suspension allowed under state civil service rules, according to The Advocate. State police officials announced the discipline decision in a news release Thursday, calling the crash preventable and reprimanding Reeves for his poor driving record. Investigators found he was driving more than 20 mph over the speed limit in this case, among other violations.
