 BY DOUG GRAHAM | Staff writer Deputy Chief Troy Lawrence Sr., whose officer son has been accused of multiple incidents of excessive force, has been placed on administrative leave amid an FBI investigation into the Baton Rouge Police. The federal agency confirmed last week it had opened a probe into the department over allegations linked to a BRPD interrogation warehouse, which some officers referred to as the "BRAVE Cave." Outrage over the incidents led Chief Murphy Paul to disband the department's Street Crimes unit. Lawrence was previously the commander of the unit. The Baton Rouge Union of Police said it was "disheartened and dismayed" by BRPD's decision.
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was back at practice Wednesday, marking his return from the three-game suspension he served to start the season. “He looked good,” said coach Dennis Allen. “He’s in shape, he looked explosive today.

The first coconut flavor Hubig’s Pies started appearing in stores this week, as the brand continues its progressive return of flavors. Hubig’s marked its return last November with two flavors — apple and lemon. Since then, more of the “staple flavors” that Hubig's previously made year-round have been returning one at a time. Apple, lemon, chocolate, peach and coconut are now in production, leaving only pineapple from the staple seven of yore. |
