Officers were alerted to trespassing at Huey P. Long Fieldhouse around 8 p.m. and discovered the trio climbing through a hole in the fence on the second level of the building, according to Sgt. Blake Tabor, LSUPD spokesman.
Tabor said Chelsey Meyer, 18, of 15936 Hoganville Ave.; Austin Arceneaux, 17, of 13358 Wenham Ave.; and Danny Jones, 17, of 3464 Joanne Drive, were commanded to climb down before they were transported to the LSUPD office for further processing.

2 men unaffiliated with LSU arrested for intent to distribute marijuana
LSUPD arrested two men unaffiliated with the University on Jan. 21 for the intent to distribute marijuana and possession of a synthetic cannabinoid near the UREC Student Recreation Complex.
Tabor said LSUPD officials were patrolling the area of West Lakeshore at Minnie Fisk Drive at 1 a.m. when they saw a vehicle driving in the wrong lane. During a routine traffic stop, the officer contacted driver Terrance Patrick, 22, of 5013 Stearn St., and front passenger Darius Harrison, 21, of 5160 Cadillac St.
The officer called in back-up after noting “suspicious movement” from the two passengers in the back seat.
The officers searched the vehicle with permission and discovered a marijuana cigarette in plain view. The cigarette contained a synthetic substance called “Mojo,” Tabor said.
LSUPD dogs on the scene also detected a brown paper bag filled with nine individually wrapped bags of marijuana, totaling 18 grams, Tabor said.
Patrick and Harrison were charged with possession, intent to distribute and improper lane usage. The pair was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, Tabor said.

Tabor said the patrolling officer could smell alcohol on Atchison’s breath and body and observed numerous signs of intoxication, such as unsteady balance and swaying.
