A popular tour guide in New Orleans’ French Quarter has filed a complaint with the New Orleans Police Department, claiming he was the victim of a beating by a police officer in November. Fifty-year-old Randy Bibb alleges that Office Willie Gant punched him twice in the jaw before taking him into custody on November 25th. Gant says Bibb was arrested because he was blocking traffic while on his bicycle. Gant says when he honked his horn, Bibb uttered a profanity and told the officer to go around. Gant says when he approached Bibb, he noticed the subject had been drinking. Bibb claims Gant struck him twice in the jaw. The NOPD Public Integrity Bureau is investigating Bibb’s complaint.
