Attorney Files Ethics Complaint Against Catahoula Sheriff

The Town Talk reports that Paul Lemke, who practices in Harrisburg, has filed an ethics complaint against Catahoula Parish Sheriff Ronnie Book. The complaint alleges that Book's relative, Pat Book, was a part owner of B&B Commissary, which officially supplied the jail from July 2001 until January 31 of this year. "Lemke became involved with the jail commissary when [an inmate] asked him to investigate the commissary after purchase prices soared in a short period of time."
