Trooper Henry Ford charged with Interfering

An off-duty state trooper assigned to Shreveport was arrested at the scene of an accident involving his son Saturday night in Lincoln Parish.

Henry Ford is charged with interfering with medical personnel and resisting an officer.

Henry Ford arrived at the scene of an accident involving his son, Qshawn Ford, 20, of Arcadia, just before 11 p.m. Saturday on state highway 507 in Lincoln Parish.

Ruston Ambulance Service crew members told Lincoln Parish deputies working the scene that they asked Henry Ford to leave Qshawn Ford alone because of the possibility of spinal injuries. According to the crew members' statements, Henry Ford refused to leave the area after being asked to leave several times.

Henry Ford allegedly got into a fight with deputies as they attempted to remove him from the area. Deputies subdued Ford with a Taser before arresting him.

Ford was booked into the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and later released on his own recognizance. He is assigned to the Transportation and Emergency Services Section of the state police in the Shreveport area.

The Louisiana State Police will conduct an administrative investigation into the incident. The Lincoln Parish Sheriff's Office is handling the primary investigation.

Don't jump to conclusions. I am an EMS personnel. U think u've seen & done it all til its ur family. Heaven forbid its your child! You practically lose it when its a family member. The deputies could've subdued him, locked him in the rear seat of the patrol car, & released him once he calmed down. They will, too, one day walk in the same shoes. They need to all ask the guidance of God before making a decision. Has anyone even inquired about the condition of this man's son??????
