Officials say they have taken a suspect into custody in connection with the fatal shooting of a police officer on Friday.
Police confirmed that 21-year-old Mark Spicer of Covington was arrested over the weekend and charged with multiple counts including first-degree murder of a police officer.
Spicer is accused of killing Mandeville Police Captain Vincent Liberto, Jr. (pictured) and wounding another officer following a high-speed chase along U.S. 190.
This is the first time a Mandeville police officer has been killed in the line of duty since 1958.
