Student issued misdemeanor summons for removing smoke detector from apartment
Rodney Andrey Brown, 19-year-old student of 1578 Residence Drive, Apt. A in Nanasota, Texas, was issued a misdemeanor summons April 17 for removing his fire alarm in East Campus Apartments. LSU Police Department and the fire department responded to a fire alarm Feb. 2 at East Campus Apartments for a small fire inside the walls of the apartment. It was extinguished with minor property damage.
Brown admitted April 17 to removing the smoke detector because it would go off when he cooked, said LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde.
Brown was issued a misdemeanor summons for fire prevention interference, according to Lalonde, who said if the smoke detector had been in place, authorities would have been notified sooner.

O’Leary was arrested for possession of 117 grams of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia, and he was booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, Lalonde said.
Foley was arrested for simple possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia after LSUPD found a small bag of marijuana on his person. He was issued a misdemeanor summons and released.
