    UPD sergeant under investigation

    Osa Bezue, a patrol sergeant at Southeastern, was arrested last week on charges of cyberstalking and malfeasance.
    The 51-year-old Tickfaw resident's home was searched under warrant as part of an investigation prompted by complaints filed early in May by two former University Police Department (UPD) employees.
    Both women reported finding doctored photos of themselves on an adult Web site, one woman filing a complaint on May 3 and the other woman filing later during the investigation. Bezue allegedly super-imposed the women's driver's license photos onto other photos of nude women and submitted the edits to the site.
    Image files of the women's driver's license photos were found on Bezue's home computer.
    Bezue was working for Southeastern's UPD as a shift supervising uniform patrol sergeant, patrolling campus and overseeing patrol officers. The women who filed the complaints about the photos worked with Bezue at the UPD. The 24-year employee is now on suspension pending investigation.
    The UPD is currently conducting its own investigation on the incident.
    The arrest was conducted by state troopers in the Bureau of Investigations and Hammond Field Office and St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office detectives.
    Bezue faces booking on cyberstalking and malfeasance in office in the Tangipahoa Parish Jail. Once released, he will be booked on similar charges in the St. Tammany Parish Jail.
