Woman to woman? How am I going to feel safe and I need to call him and that’s who you’re sending out? How am I going to feel safe?” with the offenses that took place, just as a woman?” asked Matthews. How’s it feel to know this officer is hired to the Baton Rouge Police Dept. Rape is already one of the most underreported crimes so how can we as advocates credibly encourage victims to report to law enforcement and tell them they will be taken seriously if BRPD is willing to rehire someone who has an established record of sexual harassment and misconduct?” “Rehiring him not only jeopardized the safety and wellbeing of our community, but it also sends a strong message that BRPD tolerates sexual misconduct or predatory behavior of officers. “My concerns with the rehiring of Neldare was that BRPD literally fired him for sexual harassment and misconduct,” said Sexual Trauma Awareness and Response (STAR) Group President Morgan Lamandre who was leading the private meeting with Broome. The next day, he was placed on administrative leave. Sources tell UWK the mayor said she did not know Neldare was rehired. Neldare was put on the District Attorney’s Brady List, a list of officers who have credibility issues.įollwing UWK‘s investigation, a private meeting was held between several women and East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome. “The fact that the police chief re-hired officer Neldare is I think an embarrassment to the Baton Rouge Police Department and particularly an embarrassment to the police chief for bringing this disgraced officer back onto his force,” said Metropolitan Crime Commission President Rafael Goyeneche, a former prosecutor turned watchdog. Neldare’s police report shows he told the man “there was enough p**** to go around 10 times or more and not to get caught up on just one.”

Less than a month after the incident with Butler, officer Neldare responded to a domestic call where he separated a man and a woman.

“He lost something during that time but he showed up and that made me feel up to stand taller for him and to do what I’m doing now, to say thank you.” “I needed to have peace and I needed Brandon to get something back,” Matthews said. From there, Neldare made inappropriate sexual remarks. Records obtained by Unfiltered with Kiran show Neldare ordered Butler out of his car around midnight and to get on his knees. Matthews’ son, Brandon Butler, who is now 42 years old and a Baton Rouge Police officer, was pulled over by Neldare in July 2000 when Butler was 19 years old. It’s what I wanted and I think it’s what needed.” It was a relief to hear he’s been terminated. “It was a secret that would have stayed a secret had you not broken the story. “This was definitely a secret for the Baton Rouge Police Deptartment,” Angel Matthews. The officer’s termination brought tears to the eyes of mother of one of Neldare’s harrasment victims. Less than 24 hours later, BRPD confirmed Neldare was terminated on June 13. Tremelle Neldare was placed on administrative leave Monday, June 12.
