Former Ascension Parish Sheriff Captain C. J. Matthews.
In today’s Sound Off Louisiana feature, former Ascension Parish Sheriff Captain C. J. Matthews provides a thorough analysis of the controversy surrounding the long-concealed video of LSP Trooper Mathew Clair slapping an arrestee at the Avoyelles Parish Detention Center in 2022:
March 30, 2026: Matthews provides detailed analysis of the Matthew Clair video which WAFB fought for almost a year to obtain from LSP.
Here are the WAFB features referenced in the video above:
#2) March 24, 2026 feature in which Nakamoto reveals that Clair was promoted subsequent to the slap of the arrestee. [Note: After the first video on this feature, a second video will then automatically play focusing on the fact that LSP has launched an internal investigation regarding who leaked the Internal Affairs interview of Clair to WAFB. That video includes some very damning statements made by internal LSP sources which match commentary made to us at Sound Off Louisiana about LSP’s tactics to try to hide matters entailing troopers’ actions and thereby escape any level of transparency and accountability to the public].
We look forward to publishing another feature in coming days, and we thank all of our site visitors for their loyalty and dedication, and we wish everyone a very Happy Easter weekend.
