Durrett is State Troop Captain in Bossier City

Capt. Douglas Durrett, chief deputy sheriff in Winn Parish from 1944 to 1948,
and now a state police member, has been named commander of Troop G in Bossier
City.

He succeeds Capt. H. H. Hollenshead who retired last week at request of state
police headquarters for complicity with six other troop members in the alleged
purchase and sale of at least 17 U. S. Air Force carbine rifles.

Capt. Durrett, a native of Arcadia, joined the state police in 1940.  After
duty at Alexandria he was assigned to Winnfield headquarters until 1944 when
he left the organization to serve in the Winn Sheriff department.

In 1948, he returned to the state police, serving as commander of Troop E,
Alexandria, until he was appointed special investigator for Col Grevemberg,
superintendent of state police, about a month ago.
