BATON ROUGE - Sources told the WBRZ Investigative Unit Thursday, the state of Louisiana offered former Trooper Carl Cavalier $200,000 to settle his case after he was fired for speaking out about wrongdoing at the agency.
Cavalier said his lawsuit against the department has never been about money, he's only wanted State Police to do the right thing.
"I am not satisfied with this proposed settlement. During early talks of settlements, I made it clear that I was not satisfied with settling. My goal is to go through Louisiana State Police commission hearings and have my day in federal court," Cavalier said. "I have not committed any murders or tried to cover up any murders. Politics has been and continues to try and quiet me and bury my case. I have not signed any paperwork regarding any settlements."
Cavalier was terminated after doing an interview with the WBRZ Investigative Unit where he brought case notes from Trooper Albert Paxton, which painted a clearer picture of a cover-up surrounding the death of Ronald Greene. Greene died in State Police custody in May 2019 after he led troopers on a chase and crashed in Monroe. He was pulled from his car and brutally beaten. His colleagues at State Police called his death "torture and murder."
In 2020, the WBRZ Investigative Unit exposed the case which led to numerous resignations and fallout at the agency.
