The 25 year State Police veteran replaces Col. Kevin Reeves who retired on Friday.

Louisiana State Police are reporting a traffic advisory along Interstate 10 near the Butte La Rose exit. The advisory is due to a two vehicle accident on I-10 West that resulted in a fire and created a visibility problem for both sides of the interstate because of the smoke.

Car crashes are the leading cause of death for children in Louisiana. A properly fitted and installed car safety seat could truly be a lifesaver.

The victim in the shooting is dead and the officers are reportedly on administrative leave.

State Police are continuing their investigation into the incident which claimed the life of a 43-year-old Jennings man.

The northbound lanes of the MIre Highway (LA 95) were closed for a short time last night because of a crash involving two vehicles.
