Former Opelousas, LA police officer resigned after a shooting chief of police wife.

Savannah Butler, a former Opelousas, Louisiana police officer, has resigned following a shooting incident involving Opelousas Chief of Police Graig LeBlanc and his wife, Crystal LeBlanc, a sheriff's captain. The incident occurred at Butler's home on December 22, stemming from an alleged extramarital affair between Butler and Chief LeBlanc. Butler now faces multiple felony charges, including negligent injury, illegal discharge of a firearm, and obstruction of justice. The case has been complicated further by the revelation of video footage showing Butler attempting to clean up the crime scene, as well as allegations of malfeasance involving Officer Tyrone Abrams, who is accused of helping Butler destroy evidence.
