Three Slidell teens are under indictment for killing a St. Tammany Parish deputy earlier this year.
A grand jury on Tuesday indicted Adrian Waughtal and Mason Fischer for second-degree murder and Michael Lanier for manslaughter.
Sgt. Grant Candies died in March after he was hit by a car involved in a police chase on I-10 near the Oak Harbor exit. The car reportedly driven by Waughtal hit Candies as he placed a spike strip on the roadway.
All three defendants were 17 at the time, so the death penalty is off the table.
