BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Two men are facing drug and gun charges after an investigation into a suspicious incident by the Baton Rouge Police Department.
Tyvarius Haynes, 24, was charged with possession of marijuana, resisting an officer, possession of a machine gun, possession of Schedule IV, possession with intent to distribute Schedule II, possession of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance and criminal mischief.
Taber Davis, 25, was charged with one count of obstruction of justice (felony), one count of theft of a firearm (Felony), one count of possession of firearm or carrying concealed weapon by a person convicted of certain felonies (Felony), one count of resisting an officer, one count of illegal possession of stolen firearms (Felony) and two counts of possession of machine gun.
Officers were called to the 9200 block of Florida Boulevard on Jan. 25 where multiple people with guns behind a building were found.
BRPD said, 'Several suspects were arrested with firearms and body armor, but two males fled.' A Special investigations detective identified those two men as Haynes and Davis.
The United States Marshals Service arrested Haynes and he was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

Bondi orders DC to end sanctuary city policies and appoints emergency police commissioner

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday evening directed the Washington, DC, mayor and police department to end the capital's sanctuary city policies and formalized the federal government's control of DC police. In an order, Bondi declared that Terry Cole, the head of the Drug Enforcement Agency, is now operating as the district's 'emergency police commissioner,' giving him full control over the police department during the federal takeover. And, the memo said, MPD leaders 'must receive approval from Commissioner Cole before issuing any further directives.' Bondi further ordered the MPD to abandon a directive its chief signed earlier in the day giving officers limited ability to share information with federal immigration officials. Justice Department officials believed that earlier directive was meant to reinforce the type of sanctuary city policies that DOJ has vowed to put an end to, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. In addition to ordering that the directive be rescinded, Bondi instructed DC Mayor Muriel Bowser to get rid of two additional police policies aimed at protecting undocumented migrants, including one that prevents MPD from arresting an individual solely for federal immigration warrants. The move makes clear that the federal police takeover in DC will go hand-in-hand with the Trump administration's hardline immigration enforcement goals, using control over law enforcement in the district as a way to put an end to the city's laws that protect undocumented migrants. 'DC will not remain a sanctuary city actively shielding criminal aliens,' Bondi said in an interview on Fox News Thursday. 'Will not happen.' CNN has reached out to the mayor's office and MPD for comment. Christina Henderson, a member of the DC City Council, responded to the order on social media Thursday, writing 'Respectfully, the Attorney General does not have the authority to revoke laws.' This is a developing story and will be updated.
