SUMMARY: Three 17-year-olds have been charged with the murder of St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Sergeant Grant Candies, who died while trying to stop a vehicle involved in a high-speed chase. The alleged driver, Adrien Walhall, and passengers Michael Lanier and Mason Fiser face serious charges, including first-degree murder. A judge denied Walhall bail, while Lanier’s bond was set at $150,000. Legal experts suggest they may be tried as adults, potentially facing life sentences if convicted. The case has raised significant community concern, especially given the impact on law enforcement’s reputation. Funeral arrangements for Candies are pending.

One suspect remains held without bond in deadly St. Tammany pursuit.
