Walmart is recalling frozen shrimp after the USDA issued a warning about possible radioactive contamination. Federal investigators say the contaminated shrimp is from an Indonesian firm and it was sold at Walmart stores in 13 states. Louisiana Shrimp Association president Acy Cooper is not surprised by the news…
Cooper says the United States fails to test most of the imported shrimp that comes into our country, so who knows if it’s safe. He says shrimp caught by Louisiana shrimpers does not have any banned chemicals
Cooper says radioactive frozen shrimp sold at Walmart could have been avoided if the U-S had a more robust testing protocol as the European Union…

Deputies in Rapides Parish arrest a man after getting a tip from a social media post that a man was trying to talk to kids at a bus stop in neighboring Vernon Parish. Deputies found 65-year-old Clyde Krider asleep at the wheel inside his van in Plainview yesterday and arrested him on a probation violation for being near kids as a level two sex offender. Tommy Carnline with the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office says the call came in at exactly the right time.
Cut 6 (11) “…with this suspect.”
Carnline says especially with the new school year underway, now is a good time for parents to reset important safety rules with their kids.
Carnline says while alerting the public about incidents like this on social media is good, it is not a substitute for contacting law enforcement.
Cut 8 (11) “…call law enforcement.”
Krider is behind bars in the Rapides Parish Detention Center.

Where’s the beef? It was in his pants! That’s what the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office is saying when they arrested 57-year-old Michael Ardoin after finding hundreds of dollars worth of stolen meat products on him. Sheriff Jason Ard says Ardoin stole lean hamburger meat and ribeye steaks from a Walmart Neighborhood Market in Denham Springs.
Sheriff Ard says deputies were able to pull Ardoin over before he was able to get onto I-12 after getting some valuable information from the public.
Cut 10 (10) “…find this individual.”
Ard says even though deputies were able to recover the stolen meat, it does the Walmart no good.
Ard says investigators are still putting the pieces together, but it appears that Walmart’s total loss could approach one-thousand dollars.
