BATON ROUGE — The Louisiana Supreme Court recalled an arrest warrant for Attorney General Liz Murrill late Friday night after ruling to stay her indictment by a grand jury in Orleans Parish that morning.

Murrill was indicted on Thursday following allegations that she sent threatening letters to elected Orleans Parish officials, including Mayor Helena Moreno, District Attorney Jason Williams and five city council members. She was charged with 16 counts of malfeasance in office and intimidation, with her bond being set at $400,000. 

Shortly after her indictment, Murrill filed an emergency stay motion to fight the indictment, which was granted on Friday morning. 

Murrill also issued an emergency motion to enforce the stay after she said the "special prosecutor in New Orleans refuses to remove the active warrant for the arrest of the Attorney General, even though the Louisiana Supreme Court has stayed the indictment."

Late Friday night, the Louisiana Supreme Court issued an additional order that recalled Murrill's arrest warrant, forcing law enforcement to remove the warrant from databases.

The court's vote on recalling the warrant was 4-3.
