Man arrested for grand theft
Facility Services employee Dewayne Gayden, 21, of 814 South 16th Street, was arrested for possession of marijuana and theft on June 1.
LSU Police Department spokesman Cory Lalonde said officers investigating a theft of a bicycle valued at more than $500 approached Gayden’s residence after discovering he was a possible suspect. There they saw the stolen bike, which Gayden admitted he had taken. Lalonde said officers also found a bag of marijuana on Gayden, and they booked him into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
Three men arrested for battery
James Blake Carter, of 1865 Highway 441, Kentwood La.; Baylor Blanchard, of 62289 Singleton Road, Roseland, La.; and Drew Misista, of 14016 Lilly Pad Pond, Amite, La., were each arrested June 1 for two accounts of second degree battery.
Lalonde said LSUPD received a report June 1 that two people were beat up in the RV lot along Nicholson extension. The victims told LSUPD that three suspects with them that night returned later and were told to leave. This led to an argument that caused one suspect to punch a victim in the face. When the second victim intervened, the three suspects attacked him as well. After witnesses identified Carter, 19, Blanchard, 20, and Misista, 19, LSUPD received arrest warrants shortly before the three turned themselves in.

Donald Ray Brownlee, 55, of 3908 St. Andrews Ave., was arrested June 5 for felony theft.
Lalonde said LSUPD received a report of four boxes of cat6 fiber-optic cable missing from the UREC, each of which were valued at $320 and belonged to Data-Tel of Louisiana.
Lalonde said after investigators identified Brownlee as a suspect and approached him, he admitted to taking the boxes and was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
Man arrested for disturbing the peace
Wallace Eugene Heck, 19, of 1025 Audubon Ave., was arrested for interfering with a police investigation, resisting arrest with force and disturbing the peace through public intoxication on June 8. Lalonde said LSUPD investigated a 1:27 a.m. fire alarm at WCA but discovered no fire. They asked Heck to leave the area but he refused, returning to confront the officers. Officers realized he was intoxicated and attempted to arrest him in a struggle as he resisted. Heck was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
