SHREVEPORT, La. – A convicted felon was arrested Friday morning as part of the Shreveport Police Department’s ongoing crime-reduction initiative, Operation Curveball.
Just after 9:00 a.m. on April 25, 2025, officers conducted a traffic stop near the intersection of Jewella Avenue and Huston Street. The driver, identified as Kendrick White, was taken into custody after officers learned he had an outstanding warrant.
During the stop, officers located a handgun and a quantity of narcotics in White’s possession. Police say White briefly resisted arrest but was quickly subdued without further incident.
Further investigation confirmed that White is a convicted felon, previously pleading guilty in September 2024 to federal charges related to the possession of a machine gun. As a result, he now faces several new charges, including:
Distribution of a narcotic Resisting an officer Felon in possession of a firearm
Operation Curveball continues to focus on removing violent offenders, illegal drugs, and firearms from Shreveport neighborhoods.
