#BBCtrending: The 'Cajun John Wayne' calls out criminals on YouTube

A Louisiana police officer has found fame for videos in which he identifies the area's criminals and calls on them to turn themselves in.

The videos are shown on local news but draw a wider audience thanks to YouTube.

On the St Landry Parish Sheriff Office's Facebook page, Lt Clay Higgins does not shy away from confronting his critics.

His latest appeal to a supermarket burglar garnered him 1.3 million views on YouTube.
