LEESVILLE, La. – Bobby D. Hickman, 51, of Leesville, was sentenced to 46 months in prison, followed by a three-year supervised release for unlawful possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
U.S. District Judge Richard D. Haik also ordered Hickman to make restitution for a sawed-off shotgun found in his residence that had been stolen from a contractor working at Fort Polk.
Recently, Louisiana State Police said Hickman took funds from the Leesville Police Foundation’s D.A.RE. program when he was working at the department.
He was charged with a felony theft of over $1,500 and malfeasance in office. Hickman voluntarily surrendered himself to the state police at the Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office and was booked into the Vernon Parish Jail.
