Police investigate suicide attempt
The Shreveport Police Department is investigating an attempted suicide which occurred in the Shreveport City Jail on Saturday morning at approximately
1 a.m.
A female identified as Frances W. Loggins, 48, of Shreveport, was found in her jail cell by jail employees making routine security checks.
Loggins was arrested Friday night and charged with public intoxication after employees of Hollywood Casino responded to a woman who had passed out on the casino floor. After refusing to identify a responsible person and persons to assume responsibility for her, Mrs. Loggins was arrested for being intoxicated in public and transported to the City Jail.
Loggins was taken to Christus Schumpert where she is currently in critical condition.
The investigation will continue.
