“A Jefferson Parish judge recalled the warrant on Wednesday afternoon. “After further investigation, it was learned Randal Reid was not involved in the crimes committed,” the recall said. Mr. Reid was released late Thursday night, almost a full week after being pulled over. He is considering filing a wrongful-arrest lawsuit. “Thousands of dollars for something I didn’t do,” he said.

These people will have “names and stories we will never know,” he said. “They will languish in jails and prisons.””
