Man wanted for Law School laptop theft found already in custody
A 35-year-old man was arrested Oct. 22 for felony theft of a laptop after the LSU Police Department received numerous tips about the thief, said Capt. Cory Lalonde, LSUPD spokesman.
The laptop was stolen Oct. 20 from the University Law School building, and pictures of a suspect were soon spread among the community, Lalonde said. LSUPD investigators received tips and were able to identify Fred Miles Levy, of 180 Bayou Pine Circle in Richwood, as the culprit.
A warrant was issued for Levy’s arrest, and LSUPD investigators were contacted by Baton Rouge Community College police who had Levy in custody for a different crime, Lalonde said.
Levy, who is unaffiliated with the University, was arrested and booked at East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
 
Drunk driver arrested for posession of numerous unprescribed pills
A 53-year-old woman arrested for driving while intoxicated Oct. 23 was also charged with possession of four different unprescribed narcotics, Lalonde said. She was not booked in prison because of undisclosed medical conditions.
Officers stopped Christine Slama, of 239 Revere Drive in Mandeville, for improper lane usage at 1:45 a.m., Lalonde said. Slama submitted to field sobriety and breathalyzer tests and registered a .104 BAC.
Lalonde said LSUPD officers discovered several different types of pills in Slama’s vehicle, including Adderall, Xanax, clonazepam and dextoamphetamine, commonly used for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorders.
Slama, who is unaffiliated with the University, had no prescriptions for any of the drugs, Lalonde said.
