At the Capitol today, a special House committee looking into the roadside death of Ronald Greene, while being arrested by State Police in 2019, seeks answers why high-ranking troopers had their cellphones wiped clean in the months after the incident. LSP originally said Greene died in a car crash, until body cam footage showed that wasn’t so. Committee member and Baton Rouge Representative Denise Marcelle tells LSP Lt. Colonel Doug Cain it’s not right that he won’t tell them anything…:

CUT 14  (14)        “…as exhibit A.”

LSP says they are investigating the phone wipe internally, and so they cannot discuss it in a public forum.

A massive traffic crash on Interstate 10 over the Atchafalaya basin overnight shut the highway down for about six hours. So long, in fact, that when the crash was cleared, lawmen had to go car-to-car waking up drivers who’d fallen asleep to tell them to move on.

Disgraced nursing home owner Bob Dean reportedly shot his own thumb off during an incident in Georgia while transferring a number of guns from one vehicle to another at a local car dealership. New Orleans Attorney Madro Bandaris, who’s representing a nursing home patient in one of many lawsuits against Dean, says he feels the man is toxic…:

CUT 06(11)      “…thumb off.”

Bandaris’ client lost both of her legs after complications of the mass evacuation of more than 800 residents to a warehouse in Tangipahoa Parish in 2021 during Hurricane Ida. Dean’s lawyers say he suffers from dementia.

It was a great season, but the LSU Lady Tigers have ended their year after being defeated by Ohio State Monday night. Coach Kim Mulkey credits the team for a great turnaround season, especially her senior players…:

CUT 05(12)      “…to them. Forever.”
