A 64-year-old man is arrested on a charge of bigamy that occurred in the Alexandria area. Rapides Parish Sheriff Lt. Stephen Phillips says Michael Glenn Rennier, formerly of Alexandria, was identified as a suspect after his initial wife made contact with law enforcement in early 2019.
Cut 3 (11) “…Las Vegas, Nevada.”
Phillips says the wife had documentation of the Vegas marriage that she turned over to authorities, but there was never any push for a divorce before he embarked on his new romance.
Cut 4 (12)_ “…forward with charges.”
Phillips says the crime is something that law enforcement does not take lightly.

Baton Rouge police have arrested the parents of an 11-week-old infant after their son was brought to the Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center Thursday. Baton Rouge Police Sergeant L’Jean McNeely says the child is listed in critical condition and they believe the parents may be at fault.
The child’s parents, Cole Autry and Rachel Flores have been arrested and charged with second-degree cruelty to a juvenile. Arrest records say the baby had skull fractures, bruising to the back of his head, broken ribs, and bleeding in his brain. McNeely says after they interviewed the parents about the child they made an arrest.
McNeely says the hospital called the police and alerted them of the possible abuse.
The investigation is ongoing.

Senator John Kennedy requests the President extend the deadline for REAL ID another year, citing concerns not nearly enough people will have the new national ID by October 1st.
Kennedy cited reports showing as many as 99 million people will not have the new ID in time. He says without the ID, you can’t fly…
125 million people are estimated to not have the REAL ID yet. Kennedy says it’s not right to force them all to pile into DMVs across the country with less than a year to do it.
REAL ID was passed 15 years ago, and Kennedy says he wants to use the year to find out whether or not it’s even needed. So far, he says he’s not convinced.

A motorcyclist was killed in a fatal crash with a Silverado in West Charles Parish earlier this morning in a suspected speeding incident.
State Police Trooper Monroe Dillon says 33-year-old Christopher Williams of Killona was riding his Suzuki along LA-18 when the crash occurred.
Impairment is unknown at this time, but Dillon says it appears Williams may been driving recklessly when he struck the truck.
Dillon says it’s a good reminder of just how crucial it is that motorcyclists drive safe.
