In Port Allen, officers arrested 44-year-old Jackie Honore on Friday, April 25 after a traffic stop on Rosehill Drive—where they found a gun, crack, marijuana, synthetic marijuana, a scale and drug tools—and an unrestrained minor was in the car; she is facing charges for illegal gun carrying, drug distribution and resisting an officer.

An 18-year-old was found dead in a Dodge on N.

Lawmakers in Baton Rouge are set to vote today on a bill that would ban balloon releases for people over 16 and fine $150 for a first mistake, $250 for a second, and $500 for further cases.
