A Baton Rouge shoe store employee is being uncooperative with LSU Police in regards to the sale of game-worn LSU football equipment on eBay. Capt. Cory Lalonde says they determined that 25-year-old Fletcher Sanders was the seller of the cleats and gloves advertised on the website. Lalonde says Sanders told investigators that he was the seller and sold the items for an LSU football player…
Lalonde says Sanders will not give the name of the person who gave him the items. He says equipment used in games is property of the team and the players are only allowed use of those items. Lalonde says police are still looking to determine if Sanders actually received the equipment from an LSU football player…

Sanders was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on counts of principal to theft and possession of stolen items. The LSU Athletic Department is fully cooperating with the investigation. Lalonde says it’s obvious the person who gave the property to Sanders did not have permission to do so…

The price of oil has fallen over 50-dollars in the last six months, but the head of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association is not anticipating another oil bust like we saw in the 1980s. LOGA President Don Briggs says companies in the oil industry learned from that event to make sure they can stay in business….
Briggs says while he doesn’t see a large number of oil and gas companies going under, there will be some belt tightening and that’s already occurred
Briggs says a positive sign for the Louisiana oil and gas industry is that work in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where there are currently 55 active rigs, has not been impacted by the low oil prices
