David Williams, 23-year-old political science student, and his brother Jayme Williams, 27, of 3942 Gourrier Avenue, were arrested after West Baton Rouge Police Department tipped off the LSU Police Department that the two men tried to sell metal barricades at a scrap metal facility, according to LSUPD spokesman Capt.

After investigation, LSUPD confirmed the barricades were stolen from campus, arrested the brothers and issued them misdemeanor summons.
