What the file shows
Within hours of Tania Angel posting on Facebook about her experience with LSPD on Sept 29, 2021, Sgt. Robert Miner emailed her: "Your post on Facebook was brought to my attention. I would love to chat with you concerning our officer's mishandled incidents." That email is preserved on page 7 of the IAPro file.
When she initially did not respond, Chief Beazizo closed the file on Oct 6, 2021 with the note: "No further information to follow up on — citizen has not responded back at this time — closing at this time as no complaint - info only." Five days later, when Angel did submit a statement alleging excessive force, Miner reopened the file. Beazizo then routed it to Sgt. Dean Thomas, the same supervisor named in the Cecily/Nicholas Johnson DVPO failure (OPS 2020-0015).
Officer Lexi Warbis — also one of the officers in the Julie Family / Erika Johnson DV file (OPS 2020-0027) and the deponent who admitted under oath in the Warbis deposition (see Prior Notice) that LSPD's culture was to forward gray-area cases to the prosecutor without proper investigation — is one of the two officers named here.
Why this file matters
Tania Angel's Facebook post triggered a stream of private messages from women describing the same officers — "a bunch of personal messages from women who have had similar issues with the same officers." Her own update is preserved on this site under Community Voices. The IAPro response was to close, reopen, route to Sgt. Thomas, and close again.
