Three Slidell teens indicted in death of St. Tammany Parish Sergeant Grant Candies
ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. (WGNO) — Three Slidell teenagers were indicted on Tuesday for their alleged involvement in the death of St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office Sergeant Grant Candies. According to the 22nd Judicial District Court, on March 25, Candies was hit and killed while deploying a spike strip to stop a vehicle in a high-speed pursuit. Bounty hunter believes escaped inmate Antoine Massey's days are numbered In connection to the investigation, 17-year-old Adrian Waughtal, 17-year-old Mason Fischer and 18-year-old Michael Lanier were indicted and face the following charges. Waughtal: Second-degree murder. Aggravated assault with a motor vehicle upon a peace officer. Aggravated flight from an officer. Aggravated obstruction of a highway. Obstruction of justice by tampering with evidence. Conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Fischer: Second-degree murder. Aggravated flight from an officer. Aggravated obstruction of a highway. Obstruction of justice by tampering with evidence. Conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Lanier: Manslaughter. Obstruction of justice by tampering with evidence. Conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Court officials say that, although the murder of a police officer allows for the potential imposition of the death penalty in Louisiana, due to a United States Supreme Court ruling, the death penalty would be off the table for the three suspects, as they were all under the age of 18 at the time the crime was committed.

Popular fast-food burger chain closes all restaurants in key area
It's not exactly a golden era for the restaurant industry right now. Consider everything that's happened to most of our favorite dining establishments in the past five or so years. Related: See's Candies local rival unexpectedly closing after 50 years When Covid struck, unsuspecting restaurants across the U.S. were hit with a shock to the system overnight. Suddenly, even the trendiest, most exclusive, and most-frequented restaurants were empty and bare. Foot traffic fell to nearly zero overnight. Customers who'd been grappling for reservations were warded off. Chairs remained stacked on tables for weeks - and in some cases, months. Food perished, staff went un-tipped. Which meant that rent, utility, and other bills piled up. So many restaurants found themselves in the red, with no easy way of fixing it. Even after Covid waned, many customers were still exceedingly hesitant to venture inside and dine among strangers. Restaurants that weathered the pandemic and had ample outdoor seating could adapt by offering al-fresco dining. But that wasn't everyone. Of course, not every restaurant in the U.S. is located centrally in urban hubs or by picturesque waterfronts. These might attract lots of tourists or workers thanks to prime placement, but there are plenty of other restaurants that depend on routine, everyday customers to keep them afloat. More closings: Popular Mexican chain closing all restaurants, no bankruptcyIconic mall chain shuttering more stores foreverMajor gym closing multiple locations after franchisee bankruptcyAfter Chapter 11 bankruptcy, beloved retailer closes all stores Fast-food chains, for instance, are often positioned near highways and heavy traffic hubs to capture commuters and road-weary drivers hoping for a warm meal on the go. They offer little fanfare and are often cheaper compared to more upscale establishments. But as prices continue to rise and customers cut back on their discretionary spending, a weekly fast-food habit might be the first thing to go. This is partly what's been happening with Jack in the Box (JACK) , a popular chicken and burger chain. It has made the difficult decision to shutter all its restaurants based in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Jack in the Box also plans to close between 80-120 restaurants across the U.S. in 2025. Related: Popular bankrupt retail chain prepares to close all 96 stores It is currently in the midst of a new "Jack on Track" strategy, which will close down underperforming restaurants, streamline operations, and reduce debt. It's planning to reduce its debt by about $300 million in the next two years and potentially sell its Del Taco business, which it acquired in 2022. Only one Jack in the Box restaurant is slated to open in Kansas City in August 2025. CEO Lance Tucker called the restructuring effort "an overall return to simplicity for the Jack in the Box business model and investor story."

Hundreds gather for funeral of St. Tammany Parish Sgt. Grant Candies
SLIDELL, La. (WGNO) — The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office is remembering Sergeant Grant Candies. Candies was killed while trying to stop a speeding car during a chase along Interstate 10 last month. In addition to the family and friends of Candies, his funeral drew hundreds of law enforcement officers from across the state to the Harbor Center in Slidell. The eight pallbearers slowly exited the convention center Tuesday afternoon as the sounds of bagpipes filled the air. New Orleans councilman announces National Crime Victims' Rights Week events The wife and children of the late sergeant embraced one another as they prepared to lay him to rest. Just moments before, crowds filled the facility for the 37-year-old's funeral.'Your husband did everything he could do to protect the people of this parish, and he did it to the best of his ability at all times,' said Chad Keating, one of the speakers, as he addressed Candies' wife. 'You should be proud, and if he could say anything today, he would say, you just continue on like I taught you.' Before joining the sheriff's office in 2016, Candies served as a marine sergeant, and his innate skills helped empower those around him.'He was fierce, the kind of guy you wanted in your fox hole and in your life,' said Scott Goretzke, who served in the Marines with Candies. 'He lifted people up around him. His confidence made another stronger, and when you were around him, you wanted to be there.' Belle Chasse Bridge tolling to start April 3 Even though Candies' grit and determination earned him numerous accolades, he also knew how to make people laugh.'In true Grant fashion, it wasn't long until he decided to reenact the scene from The Dukes of Hazard as he attempted to fly his Crown Victoria across a small drainage canal,' said one of colleagues at the sheriff's some speakers shared laughs, others shed tears.'Thank you, Grant, for everything,' said Nico Paternostro. 'You'll be deeply missed but never forgotten. I miss you so much.'
