Papa John’s employee discovered baking more than just pizzas
LSU Police Department officers arrested a Papa John’s employee Feb. 1 in the Outtakes grocery store in the 459 Commons for simple possession of marijuana, according to Sgt. Blake Tabor, LSUPD spokesman.
Tabor said LSUPD received an anonymous phone call at 10:07 p.m. reporting someone smoking marijuana near the 459 Commons and West Laville Hall.
An officer arrived at the scene and described a male suspect to the Papa John’s manager. He was identified as Darryl Brown, 26, of 3870 Delaware St.
Officers searched Brown and discovered a joint containing 0.9 grams. Brown was placed under arrest, Tabor said.
Brown has no affiliation with the University aside from being an employee of the campus Papa John’s, Tabor said.
Brown was transported to the LSUPD office before being released with a misdemeanor summons, Tabor said. Brown was fired from Papa John’s.

LSU student arrested after trying to dispose of marijuana in sink
A University student was arrested in his dormitory Feb. 4 for possession of prescription pills and marijuana, making it his second arrest in two weeks.
Tabor said LSUPD was dispatched to Evangeline Hall at 10:34 p.m. after the residential assistant on-call reported a smell of marijuana coming from room 102.
The officer knocked on the student’s door and spoke with Justin Goldberger, 19, of 18140 Rolling Wood Drive.
Goldberger refused to step out of his room when asked and blocked the door, Tabor said.
Tabor said the officer saw Goldberger trying to get rid of the evidence in his dorm room sink. The officer attempted to gain control of Goldberger, who resisted.
The officer handcuffed him, and a narcotics detection canine searched the room and located a homemade bong and a small brown Concerta pill for which Goldberger had no prescription. The canine also found a multi-colored smoking pipe outside of Goldberger’s first floor window, Tabor said.
The officers gathered the marijuana remaining in the sink, which totaled 7.4 grams, not including the portion that had been forced down the drain, Tabor said.
The officer also conducted a body search and discovered more marijuana in a pill bottle in Goldberger’s possession.
Goldberger was arrested on four counts: one for possession of marijuana, one for possession of prescription pills, one for possession of drug paraphernalia and one for resisting an officer, Tabor said. He was booked at East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
Tabor said Goldberger was also arrested and booked into prison Jan. 27 after a patrolling officer saw a suspicious vehicle in the Agricultural Barn parking lot. One Concerta pill and 0.3 grams of marijuana were located inside his vehicle.

Miller was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
