SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - In a decision from the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal released Monday, Aug. 8, Mayor Adrian Perkins is disqualified from running for re-election in November.
Perkins was disqualified from running for re-election after someone sued, pointing out that Perkins used the wrong address on his qualifying papers.
