PMAC employee steals two TV sets
A contracted employee at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center was arrested Sept. 14 for stealing two TVs, said Capt. Cory Lalonde, LSU Police Department spokesman.
LSUPD’s investigation into a report of two television sets taken from the PMAC led to the arrest of Randi Moran, 41, of 1410 Convention St., Lalonde said. Moran verbally confessed to the theft after speaking with LSUPD officers.
Moran was booked at East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
Electronic Arts employee arrested for leaking video game information
LSUPD officers arrested an employee of Electronic Arts Ltd. on Sept. 16 for illegally posting screenshots and videos of an unreleased video game, Lalonde said.
LSUPD was contacted Sept. 15 by Global Corporate Security with EA regarding information about leaked videos and still images of an unreleased game, Lalonde said.
Global Corporate Security was able to connect the leak to Michael Atlas King, who was employed at the EA North American Testing Center located on the LSU South Campus at the time, Lalonde said.
King, 20, of 30715 Burgess Road, Lot 71, in Denham Springs, admitted to taking the videos and pictures and later posting them online, Lalonde said.
He said the game’s title could not be released at this time.
King, who is unaffiliated with the University, was booked at East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on felony offenses against intellectual property, Lalonde said. The offense was considered a felony because EA valued the released information at more than $500.
