I dont remember hearing about that and it seems like that would have stuck in my head!

Yes, it happened. I remember hearing about it on the local news. It was either late at night or early in the morning when there was basically no one on the road. The deputy slowed down for the light but didn't bother to stop. He just looked and saw no one around and cruised on through the red light. It was at Airline and Sherwood.

Additionally, there was a big stink over in Lafayette with the new set up they have with the speed control vans which are operated by a private company. They were clocking all vehicles and mailing out speeding tickets. They kept sending them to police who were speeding. The cops insisted they shouldn't be ticketed but they either were not on duty at the time or were not on a call at the time. So the tickets were being upheld. And a fight ensued.
