An Opelousas woman is in jail after allegedly killing her uncle because of his “constant chattering.” St. Landry Sheriff Bobby Guidroz says 49-year-old Melissa Ann Credeur (Cra-ter) initially accused, John Ray Gautreaux, of raping her while she slept. When she woke up, she told authorities he was not breathing and started beating him. But Guidroz says after questioning Credeur, the real story came out…
Guidroz says Creduer was tested for rape at a hospital and there wasn’t any evidence found. When deputies arrived at the residence, they found Gautreaux’s body in a fetal position. Guidroz says it appears she used a variety of items in attacking Gautreaux…
Guidroz had some contact with her recently. Guidroz says she admitted to some mental issues, which may have led to this murder…

Zachary Police Chief David McDavid is angry at a judge about one of his officers being killed in the line of duty this week. Lawton was working undercover when 33-year-old Albert Franklin allegedly crushed the officer with a rental truck. Just three months ago, McDavid complained about District Court Judge Trudy White lowering Franklin’s bond on an unrelated crime.
McDavid knew back then that Franklin was dangerous, he is appalled that Judge White reduced Franklin’s last bond.
A commissioner originally set Franklin’s bond at 88-thousand dollars, but Judge White lowered it to 9,000 dollars on his latest arrest.

Drew Brees is back in Black and Gold after agreeing to a two year, 50 million dollar contract one day before the start of free agency. The New Orleans legend will reunite with a team that was one play away from the NFC championship and loaded with young talent. Brees says he always planned on returning, but last season’s success made the decision that much easier.
Brees confirmed he was offered more money to play elsewhere, and there’s no denying he signed far below his market value after watching journeymen QBs and unproven gunslingers sign more lucrative contracts. Brees says he wanted to make sure the team had the flexibility to build a roster capable of making the Super Bowl.
But it wasn’t all smiles and celebration, as Drew watched his former teammate star tight end Jimmy Graham sign for three years in Green Bay. Brees said he was hoping to see him back in New Orleans, but it just didn’t work out.

Thousands of Louisiana students walked out of class today in solidarity with a national youth movement protesting gun violence and gun laws. New Orleans Students at Lusher, NET Charter, Abramson Sci Academy, and more joined the protests. NET students were led in a chant calling for an end to shootings of all kinds.
The protest began with a moment of silence to remember the 17 Parkland victims and victims of violence in New Orleans, a city that saw 157 murder victims last year.
NET Charter School Dean of Students Justin Ross-Hilliard says we can’t let the young fight this fight alone, parents need to join the efforts.
