Former Shreveport Police Officer Loses Appeal, returns to jail

From [HERE] A former Shreveport police officer is headed back to jail after losing his appeal on a perjury conviction.

The Times reports Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied Morgan King's appeal Wednesday, saying he must fulfill the four-year sentence handed down in February.

King was convicted of lying on the witness stand regarding his actions in May 2006 when he left the scene of an officer-involved shooting. A fellow officer was involved in a shootout with a man who was shooting at a woman.

Prosecutors say King lied when called to testify during a hearing for the suspect. King was convicted and sentenced to four years in prison. He's been out on bond awaiting his appeal.
