Commissioner of Higher Education Kim Hunter Reed says the state is keeping a close eye on the criminal investigation into alleged hazing at the DKE fraternity at LSU that has so far resulted in nine arrests. Reed says it’s vital the Board of Regents gathers this new information, and uses it to craft additional policies that can be applied statewide.
Several of the nine students charged in the alleged hazing have been hit with battery charges. The Advocate reports the hazing involved beating pledges with pipe, dousing them with gas, and urinating on them, among other things.
A Gonzales man has been arrested and charged with his 3rd DWI following an overnight crash in Ascension Parish left one dead. Trooper Tayler Scrantz says 28-year-old Greg Rivere’s 3rd DWI can carry a severe punishment.
