University student arrested for 27 counts of payroll fraud
On Jan. 16 the LSU Police Department was contacted by a representative of the LSU Chemistry department who claimed that Gabrielle Angelique Perry, 21, of 236 Sunshine Drive, committed payroll fraud, said LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde.
LSUPD investigators compared Perry’s collected time sheets and noticed a difference in the signatures from July 2012 to December 2013.
On Jan. 22 at 10 a.m., Perry met with LSUPD investigators and admitted to forging signatures on 27 separate time sheets, totaling an income of approximately $9,000, Lalonde said.
Perry was arrested and booked into EBR Parish Prison for 27 counts of payroll fraud.
Man unaffiliated with University arrested for possession of narcotics
On Jan. 21 at 8:32 a.m. LSUPD officers responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle parked near Acadian Hall that matched the description of a previously posted LSUPD warrant, Lalonde said.
The driver, Paul Sebastian, 22, of 16 Winston Drive, Belleair, Fla., consented to a vehicle search and LSUPD officers found several containers of marijuana, a plastic bag containing psilocybin mushrooms, and a jar containing a wax-like substance officers believed to be marijuana, Lalonde said.
Sebastian was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for possession of narcotics and one count of drug paraphernalia.
