Louisiana State Rep. Larry Selders was arrested and held at the LSU Police Department, early Sunday morning, for driving near LSU’s campus while under the influence, according to the Advocate.
Selders, a democrat, was elected in 2019 and represents Louisiana in House of Representatives District 67, including parts of downtown Baton Rouge and LSU’s campus. He was cited for speeding and performing burnouts in a 2018 Dodge Challenger around 2 A.M. on East Boyd Drive and Burbank Drive, near the Dead Poet Nightclub.
Selders performed multiple sobriety tests, including a failed breathalyzer test at the LSU Police Department, after which he was taken to the East Baton Rouge Prison for fingerprinting and was released, the Advocate reported. He was arrested on one count of first-offense DWI and reckless operation and driving under suspension.
