A Louisiana police officer at the center of a viral traffic stop video has once again lost his job, even after an independent investigation found he committed no wrongdoing during the incident. According to a report from KLFY, former Patterson Police Officer Sam Tezeno was cleared following an independent review conducted by the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office. Independent Review Found No WrongdoingThe review centered on a June traffic stop involving Tezeno and a Patterson man. The viral traffic stop once again brought that history into the spotlight, with residents questioning how an officer with multiple prior departures was able to continue moving between departments. Public comments during Patterson City Council meetings reflected concerns about public trust, accountability, and hiring practices, rather than solely the findings of the traffic stop investigation.
