Eutravious Houston pleads guilty to weapons charge

A Shreveport man arrested after he pointed a weapon at a police drone during a warrant execution in July 2025 pleaded guilty Thursday, February 26, 2026, in Caddo District Court.

After a jury was selected and officer testimony began in District Judge Donald E. Hathaway Jr.'s court, Eutravious Houston, 33, withdrew his former plea of not guilty and entered of plea of guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. No plea agreement was made between the District Attorney’s office and Houston, with sentencing being left to the court. He will return for sentencing March 10, 2026, where he faces at least five and up to 20 years in prison at hard labor.

On July 30, 2025, Shreveport police, along with the U.S. Marshals' Violent Offender Task Force, were executing arrest warrants in the 1500 block of Belwood Street in the Caddo Heights neighborhood. While looking for another individual suspected to be inside a residence, officers were told that Houston was inside and refusing to come out. After obtaining consent from the homeowner, a drone operated by officers with the Street Level Interdiction Unit flew into the house where Houston was observed pointing a Glock handgun directly at it. Officers ran Houston's name and discovered that he had been convicted of Illegal Use of Weapons in 2021, prohibiting him from possessing a firearm. 

Assistant District Attorneys Chase Burgess and Christopher S. Bowman prosecuted Houston. He was represented by the Caddo Indigent Defenders office. 

The case was docket No. 410419.
