Three Slidell teens indicted in death of St. Tammany Parish Sergeant Grant Candies
ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. (WGNO) — Three Slidell teenagers were indicted on Tuesday for their alleged involvement in the death of St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office Sergeant Grant Candies. According to the 22nd Judicial District Court, on March 25, Candies was hit and killed while deploying a spike strip to stop a vehicle in a high-speed pursuit. Bounty hunter believes escaped inmate Antoine Massey's days are numbered In connection to the investigation, 17-year-old Adrian Waughtal, 17-year-old Mason Fischer and 18-year-old Michael Lanier were indicted and face the following charges. Waughtal: Second-degree murder. Aggravated assault with a motor vehicle upon a peace officer. Aggravated flight from an officer. Aggravated obstruction of a highway. Obstruction of justice by tampering with evidence. Conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Fischer: Second-degree murder. Aggravated flight from an officer. Aggravated obstruction of a highway. Obstruction of justice by tampering with evidence. Conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Lanier: Manslaughter. Obstruction of justice by tampering with evidence. Conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Court officials say that, although the murder of a police officer allows for the potential imposition of the death penalty in Louisiana, due to a United States Supreme Court ruling, the death penalty would be off the table for the three suspects, as they were all under the age of 18 at the time the crime was committed.

Bounty hunter believes escaped inmate Antoine Massey's days are numbered
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Law enforcement continues to search for the two remaining escapees from the Orleans Parish Jail. Part of that effort includes investigating videos uploaded online, by a man claiming to be one of the escapees. The videos were created by a man who appears to be Antoine Massey. 'Antoine, turn yourself in,' said Matt Dennis with ASAP ankle monitoring. New Orleans jail escapee releases videos, prompting search of home where they were made, source says WGNO went to the address on Agriculture Street where the home was raided, trying to get answers from the homeowner. But no one answered. According to an Associated Press source, police recovered clothes the man was wearing when he recorded the videos from the home. Dennis says if it is Massey in the videos, then they show that he is running out of resources. 'I think he's having more and more difficulty every day getting any type of help, whether it's a place to hide inside the house or a car,' Dennis said. 'They start to have trouble with people helping them, especially with the way they're full-court rushing these guys.' Pastor Raymond Brown at Ray Avenue Baptist Church says all Massey's family wants is for him to turn himself in. He also believes the video is getting the word out about conditions inside the justice center. Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office discusses funding needs for jail repairs with city council 'We're not standing with him in any wrongdoings. We want him to be prosecuted but in the right way,' Brown said. 'But for him to have to break out for us to hear his side of his story, that's a major problem in our community.' Dennis, who is also a bounty hunter, previously captured Massey after he removed his ankle monitor. 'He's absolutely catchable,' Dennis said. 'Massey is one of the lower people on the food chain when it comes to the escapees. He's not the most dangerous guy. They're going to have to keep working it for someone to be running from us and hiding for two weeks.' Dennis says the other escapee who is still at large, convicted murderer Derrick Groves, is the one the public needs to pay attention to. 'Groves is scary,' Dennis said. 'Groves is a murderer. Not just a single. He's a multi-murderer, and he is very dangerous. And he needs to be captured.' $50,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest of Massey or is taking tips at unleashes MAGA rebellion on Federalist Society VW's 2025 Tiguan: A New Chapter in Compact SUVs Worried House spending hawks could face moment of reckoning on Trump megabill New Orleans police searching for suspect in St. Claude art heist Three arrested in St. John Parish drug bust Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
