Mardis was killed and his father, Chris Few, was wounded during the shooting. Two Marksville law enforcement officers, Derrick Stafford and Norris GreenhouseJr., were arrested on charges of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder as a result of the incident. The use of a body-worn video camera was cited as leading to the speed of the arrests. == Background == Marksville is a small city with a population of 5,702 at the 2010 census,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Marksville (city), Louisiana )〕 characterized by familiar relationships and interactions between locals. The city experienced a series of running conflicts between Mayor John Lemoine and several city officials over budgets. The conflicts reportedly started soon after Lemoine took office in 2009, when he called for several audits of the city court and recommended that the city council lower the budget, including the salary of Marksville Marshal Floyd Voinche. Citizens have described the politics as "particularly intense and personal". Lemoine was also reportedly in conflict with the Marksville Police Department, which had three different chiefs during Lemoine's five years in office.〔 About three months prior to the shooting incident, Voinche's office hired several local police officers to work part-time in street patrols and even purchased two used Ford Crown Victoria police vehicles for them to use. The street patrols mostly involved writing citations and apprehending motorists going over the speed limit. Before that, the office's jurisdiction was limited to serving court papers. According to Lemoine, speaking after the shooting occurred, Voinche did not consult the city about this expansion of his operations, including the hiring of full-time police officers, and Lemoine had written at least one letter to the office of Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell, questioning the legal authority of Voinche's actions. However, because state statute gives marshals the authority to enforce the law within their respective jurisdictions, street patrols and issuing tickets were considered to be encompassed in this authority. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shooting of Jeremy Mardis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
