WBRZ - Baton Rouge

HOUMA - Residents upset with Terrebonne Parish deputies and Houma police aired their grievances at a school gym.

Complaints at the Tuesday meeting focused largely on the Terrebonne Narcotics Task Force, made up of members of Houma Police and the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office. Task force head Darryl Stewart, Houma Police Chief Todd Duplantis and Terrebonne sheriff's Chief Deputy Mike Solet attended the meeting.

The Courier reports (http://bit.ly/x9HB0q) that for the most part, the officials listened quietly and occasionally wrote something down.

Meeting participants said residents are regularly subjected to racially charged language and excessive charges. They also accused authorities of searching - without warrants - the homes of innocent people.
