Baton Rouge woman accused of trying to run over ex-boyfriend's girlfriend
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baton Rouge woman faces serious charges after allegedly attempting to run over her ex-boyfriend's girlfriend during a heated confrontation.
On Dec. 18, 2024, Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD) officers responded to an assault and battery call at a gas station on S. Sherwood Forest Boulevard. Upon arrival, officers spoke with two victims involved in the incident.
According to the affidavit, the victims were getting gas when Bri'Antai Morgan, 25, pulled up at a nearby pump and began yelling at them. Police said Morgan is the mother of a child she shares with the man dating one of the victims. A verbal altercation ensued, prompting the store clerk to ask Morgan to leave the property.
Instead of leaving, Morgan reportedly entered her vehicle, accelerated toward the first victim, and narrowly missed hitting her. The second victim intervened, pushing the first victim out of the way but was struck in the leg by Morgan's car. Police said Morgan fled the scene before officers arrived. The second victim sustained minor injuries.
The affidavit further states that Morgan later called her child's father to 'brag about almost running over his girlfriend' and allegedly posted about the incident on social media, taunting the victim.
Morgan was arrested on Feb. 4 and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. She is charged with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated battery, and aggravated criminal damage to property. Jail records indicate no bond has been set.

Investigation underway after baking soda spills on I-110 South Friday afternoon
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — An investigation is underway after the Baton Rouge Fire Department (BRFD) and its Hazardous Materials unit responded to reports of baking soda being dumped on the interstate Friday, June 6. The powder was found scattered across multiple southbound lanes of I-110, just south of Airline Highway near the Weller Avenue exit. The substance was also found on several nearby surface streets. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) and the Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD) helped shut down impacted lanes of travel. The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LADEQ) was notified and responded to the scene. Louisiana State Police were also notified. BRFD's Hazardous Materials team conducted field testing of the substance, and after multiple presumptive tests, it was identified as sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda. There is no threat to public safety, officials confirmed. The scene has been turned over to LADEQ, and BRFD units will be clearing shortly. The interstate is expected to remain closed while cleanup efforts are underway. Appropriate agencies will be conducting an investigation to determine how the material was released and to identify the responsible party.
