Agents with Attorney General Liz Murrill's Louisiana Bureau of Investigation arrested the mayor of Arcadia on February 26 for Malfeasance in Office and Theft.

The Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (LBI) opened a criminal investigation in response to allegations of official misconduct involving the Mayor of Arcadia, O’Landis Millican, of College Street in Arcadia, Bienville Parish.

Agents received reports that Millican had misappropriated public funds for personal benefit.

During this investigation, LBI agents discovered multiple instances in which Millican had misused town funds, totaling more than $30,000.00, for personal benefit. For example, on separate occasions in 2025, Millican used more than $21,000 in public funds to pay for repairs to his personal vehicle. Millican issued multiple checks from the town’s account(s) to cover the costs. In another example, agents learned that Millican held private events, in 2024 and 2025, at his residence in Arcadia and rented equipment from a business in Ruston, LA. Millican used more than $7,800 in town funds to pay for that equipment, which included large event tents, lights, generators, and cooling fans for those events.

As a result of evidence obtained during this investigation, LBI agents secured an arrest warrant for Millican through the 2nd Judicial District Court on multiple felony counts of:

• LA RS 14:134 Malfeasance in Office (Felony) - 4 counts
• LA RS 14:67 B (1) Theft (Felony) - 1 count

"No matter who you are, if you break your oath of office, you're going to jail," said Attorney General Liz Murrill.

Today, Millican surrendered to agents pursuant to the warrant and was booked at the Bienville Parish Jail without incident.

His bond has been set at $10,000.

Our investigation is ongoing.
