SHREVEPORT, LA-  Shreveport Police Arrest Convicted Felon Possessing Firearm

On May 4, 2024, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Shreveport Police responded to a welfare concern reported in the 6100 block of Linwood Avenue. The concern was regarding a white male subject reportedly observed by a citizen striking a female. Upon arrival, patrol officers located the individual identified as Bradley Meacham, 60 years old.

While the initial battery claims against Meacham could not be substantiated, officers discovered during their investigation that he was in possession of a firearm, a violation given his prior felony convictions which prohibited him from owning or possessing firearms.

In accordance with the law, Shreveport Police patrol officers promptly arrested Bradley Meacham for the offense of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

This incident underscores the Shreveport Police Department's commitment to enforcing laws designed to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals prohibited from possessing them. We appreciate the vigilance of citizens in reporting concerns for the welfare and safety of our community members.

Suspects are innocent until proven guilty.
