Shreveport, La — On August 16th, 2024, the Shreveport Police Department apprehended 39-year-old Nicki Daniels, charging him with one count of Terrorizing.
Daniels’ arrest followed a social media post that triggered widespread alarm among residents, leading to a flood of reports to local authorities.
Concerned citizens inundated the Shreveport Police Department with messages, phone calls, and other forms of communication, prompting a swift investigation into the situation.
The department’s rapid response resulted in Daniels’ detention.
Under Louisiana law, Terrorizing is defined as the intentional communication of information that indicates an imminent or ongoing violent crime, or the existence of a life-threatening circumstance, with the intent to incite fear among the public. The charge also applies when such communication leads to the evacuation of buildings, public structures, or transportation facilities, or causes significant public disruption.
In light of this incident, the Shreveport Police Department emphasized the seriousness of making threats, particularly on social media platforms.
Authorities urged the public to exercise caution and responsibility online, reminding citizens that careless or malicious posts can have severe legal consequences and potentially endanger the safety of the community.
