Blue-winged teal research update from LDWF

This past weekend, LDWF biologists – along with collaborators from the University of Georgia’s Southeast Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study – captured, banded, and safely released several hundred blue-winged teal.
 
This marked the 15th consecutive year of ongoing avian influenza research in south Louisiana.
 
Through both hunter-harvested and live-captured samples, this long-term study helps scientists better understand how avian influenza virus moves through wild bird populations and what effects it has on waterfowl.
 
While the current Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI EA H5N1) strain has had major impacts on the poultry industry, wild waterfowl are not believed to spread the virus among poultry operations.
 
However, the LDWF reminds hunters that when handling wild game, take protective precautions:
  • Field dress game outdoors or in a well-ventilated area
  • Wear gloves when cleaning game
  • Wash hands, tools and surfaces after handling
  • Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking while processing
  • Cook all game to 𝟭𝟲𝟱°𝗙 before eating

Alexandria woman arrested on outstanding warrant, drug charges following Hagewood disturbance

A disturbance call in Hagewood has resulted in the arrest of an Alexandria woman on an outstanding bench warrant and additional felony drug charges, according to Natchitoches Parish Sheriff Stuart Wright. NPSO Patrol Operations Bureau deputies responded to a report from the NATCOM 911 Center on Oct. 7 around 7:35 pm regarding a disturbance at an apartment complex located in the 100 block of Hwy. 117 in Hagewood. Upon arrival, deputies spoke with at least four individuals allegedly involved in the incident. Deputies determined there were no injuries and that the disturbance was verbal in nature.

A background and warrants check through NCIC and local databases revealed that one of the individuals, identified as Felicia Thrash, 42 of Alexandria, was wanted by the 10th Judicial District Court in Natchitoches Parish for Failure to Appear in Court on Sept. 25 on charges of:
* Possession of CDS I (Ecstasy)
* Possession of CDS I (Marijuana)
* Illegal Possession of a Firearm in the Presence of Controlled Dangerous Substances

Thrash was taken into custody without incident by a female deputy. Thrash, who has several prior arrests in the Pineville and Alexandria areas, was transported and booked into the LaSalle Corrections–Natchitoches Detention Center.

During a search at the detention facility, corrections officers discovered a cellophane bag containing suspected cocaine and drug paraphernalia concealed on her person.

As a result, Thrash was additionally charged with:
* Possession of CDS II (Cocaine)
* Introduction of Contraband into a Penal Institution

Deputies stated they had asked Thrash prior to entering the detention center if she had any items concealed on her person, to which she reportedly replied “no.” The seized evidence will be submitted to the crime lab for analysis.

Responding Deputies:
Deputy A. Coon, Deputy Cpl. J. Dranguet, Deputy C. Brown, and Deputy J. Robertson.

The investigation remains active and ongoing. No further information will be released at this time.


Louisiana State Police release additional evidence in fatal crash investigation – video attached

Louisiana State Police Crash Investigation

Video and crash reports released Oct. 7 following calls for independent investigation

Louisiana State Police released a comprehensive package of evidence Oct. 7, 2025, related to a fatal December 2024 crash investigation involving former LSU football player Kyren Lacy. The release included surveillance footage, witness statements, a full crash report and a critical incident briefing video.

Evidence details and findings

According to Louisiana State Police, the newly released materials support the agency’s initial investigation findings. The surveillance video, obtained from a gas station, shows a green Dodge Charger passing multiple vehicles in the opposite lane of travel at what state police described as a high rate of speed. Investigators identified Lacy as the driver of that green Charger.

The crash occurred on Louisiana Highway 20 in Lafourche Parish, where the speed limit is 40 mph. State Police indicated Lacy was passing vehicles illegally and traveling at a high rate of speed in a no-passing zone. According to the investigation, to avoid a head-on collision with Lacy’s vehicle, a gold truck swerved right and a Kia Cadenza swerved left, striking a northbound Kia Sorento. The crash resulted in the death of 78-year-old Herman Hall of Thibodaux.

Background and attorney general response

Lacy was charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation of a vehicle. His case was scheduled to go before a grand jury April 14, 2025. One day before the grand jury hearing, Lacy died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a police chase in Houston, in an unrelated domestic incident.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill issued a statement following the video’s release. She indicated the evidence is not disputed and that the Lafourche Parish District Attorney’s Office was prepared to present the case to a grand jury. Murrill stated every witness identified the green Charger Lacy was determined to be driving as having put the events in motion that led to the head-on collision. She added her office is continuing to review the entire file from State Police and will release a more detailed statement at the conclusion of that review.

Context of release

The evidence release followed public outcry and calls for an independent investigation into Louisiana State Police’s handling of the case. The Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus had called for a formal investigation into how LSP handled Lacy’s case. Last week, Lacy’s attorney Matthew Ory presented his own explanation of events in a Houma television interview, contradicting LSP’s initial findings.

Jay O’Quinn, executive director of the Louisiana State Troopers Association, issued a statement indicating he believed the newly released video validated troopers’ version of events. He expressed disappointment that many national and local media outlets chose to rush to judgment before all facts related to the fatal crash were known.

Louisiana State Police emphasized in its release that the investigation relied on forensic analysis, crash reconstruction and comprehensive evidence review to provide an objective account. The agency stated it is committed to providing a thorough and objective investigation grounded in science and supported by facts

Callis calls on Council to ‘reform’ GAEDA or junk it

By JIM BUTLER

John Callis won a battle last week and Tuesday fired the next salvo in his war with GAEDA.

His letter to the City Council, obtained by the Journal, cites an alleged pattern of unacceptable conduct by the Greater Alexandria Economic Development Authority, calling on council members to “reform it as an accountable entity” or shut it down.

And for the first time he refers to alleged violence against him due to his GAEDA activism.

Last week, the Louisiana Supreme Court overruled the 3rd Circuit and unanimously agreed that a GAEDA meeting in February 2024 was in violation of public meeting law, rendering actions taken during it null and void.

However that comes after the horse is long since out of the barn, with a commission reconstituted in late 2024 by new appointments and resignations essentially rubber stamping what occurred at the disputed meeting.

Also in February 2024, on the day of a GAEDA retreat after his authority appointment but before he took the seat, Callis reveals an unknown person fired shots at his business with he and a family member nearby.

Responding officers noted in their incident report that seven .40 millimeter casings were found in the roadway but the driver and his red Hyundai could not be located.

The report draws no conclusions as to the incident’s raison d’etre.

Callis pulls no punches in his Tuesday letter, asserting GAEDA has “acted as a patronage system wasting millions” while it “serves political interests rather than economic growth.”

Annual reports have raised no auditors’ issues with the agency’s accounting systems and practices.

Callis asserts the panel continues to refuse to honor a $1.4 million pact with the city by claiming it is illegal and poorly drafted.

Through a hotel/motel occupancy tax the Authority has about $1 million in annual revenue. Subsidizing a host of meetings and events has been the core element of its activity since its inception.

According to Callis, that activity has failed to produce economic results after two decades.

He entreats the Council “to reform it now as an accountable entity” or end it, otherwise, he says, he will take further legal action to accomplish his goals.

The Council now has requests from GAEDA to appoint successors to three commissioners who no longer attend the seven-member panel’s meetings and from Callis to pretty much junk it and start over.

Council members have been mum on the former, as have GAEDA officials when previously asked for comment.
