Authorities are investigating the death of a Fort Polk soldier while in police custody at the U.S. Army post in west-central Louisiana. The Army has withheld the soldier's name.
Military and civilian police were summoned Friday night by a report that someone was trying to get into a military housing unit, Fort Polk said in a statement. The first military policeman to arrive spotted the soldier who matched the suspect's description.
