UNIVERSITY STUDENT ARRESTED FOR RESISTING AN OFFICERA University student was arrested for resisting an officer and underage possession of alcohol on March 8 around 3:17 a.m. An LSU Police Department officer saw a man standing near the stop sign at the intersection of South Campus Drive at East Campus Drive. The man nervously avoided eye contact with the officer and started to run toward Blake Hall after the officer tried to talk to him, said Sgt. Blake Tabor, LSUPD spokesman. Levere Montgomery IV, 19, of 11 Mistletoe Drive, Covington, was eventually stopped beside the lake near Blake Hall and acted as if he was talking on his cell phone, Tabor said. After the officer took Montgomery into custody, Montgomery apologized for running and said he was afraid the officer thought he was trying to steal the stop sign. Montgomery said he was not trying to steal the stop sign — he only wanted to see how it was attached to its post. He said he ran because he had alcohol and is underage. Officers found a bottle of Southern Comfort whiskey liqueur and Mount Gay Rum in Montgomery’s backpack, Tabor said. Montgomery was issued a misdemeanor summons and released.  MAN ARRESTED FOR DWIA man unaffiliated with the University was arrested March 10 around 1 a.m. for driving while intoxicated, driving with a suspended license and careless operation. An officer was patrolling Highland Road when he saw a vehicle in front of him start to swerve into oncoming traffic. The officer slowed at the intersection of Highland Road and Nicholson Extension when the vehicle nearly hit the officer, Tabor said.Officers eventually stopped Mourice Wilson Jr., 24, of 4850 Beech Street, Baton Rouge, in a parking lot on Gourier Road. The officer smelled alcohol on Wilson’s breath, Tabor said. Wilson said he was driving from the Varsity Theatre, where he had only one drink. Wilson then failed several field sobriety tests, Tabor said. Wilson was arrested and transported to LSUPD, where a breath alcohol test showed a 0.124 grams percent blood alcohol content. Wilson was booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of driving while intoxicated, driving with a suspended license and careless operation. TWO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ARRESTED AFTER FIGHTTwo University students were arrested for fighting — one of whom was also arrested for driving while intoxicated — on March 13. Officers responded to a complaint about a fight at Herget Hall around 2:35 a.m. The two University students involved in the fight — James Dustin Naquin, 19, of 15210 Silver Oak Drive, Prairieville, and Gerald James Domingue III, 18, of 71174 Ketch Place, Abita Springs — left the residence hall before officers arrived. Witnesses gave descriptions of the men, who they said were fighting about a woman they both had feelings for, Tabor said. Naquin drove by Herget Hall after the officers arrived. Officers identified Naquin based on witness descriptions, pulled him over and questioned him about the fight. Officers noticed he was intoxicated, and after he failed several field sobriety tests, Naquin was transported to LSUPD around 4:56 a.m. He refused to take a breath alcohol test, Tabor said. Naquin was charged with driving while intoxicated and disturbing the peace through fistic encounter and was booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. Domingue was arrested around 8:46 p.m. in Herget Hall for disturbing the peace through fistic encounter. He was issued a misdemeanor summons and released, Tabor said.
