YOUNGSVILLE, La. (KLFY) -- A Youngsville police lieutenant has lost his job after the city's fire and police civil service board voted to uphold his termination.

Former officer Lloyd Henry was dismissed after exhausting his sick leave following a 2023 crash in which he was rear-ended while in a police unit.

"We're definitely disappointed with the board's decision," said Joe Beck III, Henry's attorney. "The purpose of the civil service board is to protect the police officers, but that's not what happened tonight."

Henry sustained back and arm injuries from the crash, which required him to take 60 weeks of sick leave. He hoped to return to work for "light duty," but in September 2024, Police Chief Cody Louviere fired him for "exhausting his sick leave".

Thanks for signing up!
