Northwestern State men’s basketball is excited about the addition of Hansel Enmanuel to its 2022 recruiting class. You may have seen him in a Gatorade commercial.

Cut 3 (11) “..University” 

Enmanuel is from the Dominican Republic and he had his left arm amputated at the age of 6 after a wall collapsed on it. Gipson says it’s clear that life challenges have made the three-star recruit even more determined…:

Cut 4  (08) “…that guy”

Enmanuel is 6’4″ and in his senior season he averaged 26 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 block a game. Gipson says the Enmanuel family showed the program the type of passion and love for the game that they look for at NSU. He says Enmanuel is a great player, with a great attitude

Cut 5  (08) “…is related.”

Cut 6 (10) “…50-grand” 

Talbot says some criminals steal dozens of catalytic converters and sell them in bulk.

A lot of new state laws go into effect Monday, August 1^st, and one of them will forbid police from using the smell of marijuana as probable cause to search one’s home. The bill was authored by New Iberia Representative Marcus Bryant, who says there are still warrantless searches and arrests being made, simply because an LEO smelled weed. He says the new law makes it clear for police…:

Cut 9 (07)  “…warrantless arrests.”

Bryant’s House Bill 629 won final passage and was signed into law by the governor. He says his bill codified federal statute into state law. Bryant says it is needed, now that a growing number of citizens are using legal medical marijuana. He says those patients shouldn’t have to worry about what happens if a police officer shows up at their door…:

Cut 10 (12) “…making them uncomfortable.” 

Bryant says legalizing smokable marijuana as medicine makes this new law necessary to protect individuals’ rights. He feels there will be more bills filed in the future to de-criminalize using marijuana…:

Cut 11 (14)  “…prescriptions for marijuana.”

Again, the new law takes effect August 1st.
