BOSSIER CITY, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – The Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking possible sexual assault victims of a man arrested Wednesday on rape charges to come forward.
The sheriff’s office says 37-year-old Paul Norman was arrested for possessing methamphetamine, which was found during a search at his home in the 5200 block of John Wilson in Bossier City.
