Livingston Parish alleged gang members arrested after Bogalusa shooting, drug bust
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A group of suspects deputies believe to be in a gang have been arrested after a shooting in Bogalusa. According to the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office, narcotics agents have been investigating a local gang known as the 'Motion Gang.' LPSO Sheriff Jason Ard said the group primarily engages in illegal narcotics distribution and street violence. The group is commonly found in Springfield, Ard said. On March 21, LPSO deputies were contacted by Bogalusa Police trying to find Ivan Fletcher, 19, who is believed to be connected to a shooting in their jurisdiction. BPD investigators said Fletcher and his girlfriend, Maya Price, 23, arrived in an area for Price to fight someone. Investigators said Fletcher fired rounds into a vehicle occupied by five people, including a 5-month-old baby. BPD issued arrest warrants for Fletcher and Price.

Alligator breaks into home, whips at furniture as family watches, Louisiana video shows
A 9-foot alligator broke into a Louisiana family's home, and video of the intrusion shows it started slapping around furniture when confronted. The break-in happened around 10 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26, at the Waterfront East subdivision in Maurepas, according to the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office. Nobody got hurt, unless you count the alligator's pride. '(The) family tells us this gator 'broke in' through their screened-in porch,' the sheriff's office said in an email to McClatchy News. 'Livingston Parish has close to 400 nautical miles of waterways,' Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard said. 'This isn't LPSO's first run-in with a gator and won't be our last. ... It's part of the job out here!' Sheriff's office video shows the alligator had bellied up to the bar when deputies arrived. It then bit down on a chair cushion and went into a series of 'death rolls,' a term for the spinning maneuver alligators use to drown their prey. One man eventually got on the gator's back — like a horseback rider — and held it down long enough to be tied. The alligator was dragged across the yard to a dock, then released into the nearby Diversion Canal, officials said. The video had been viewed more than 345,000 times on Facebook as of March 28, and racked up 4,000 reactions and comments. Among the commenters were amused Louisianians who likened an alligator in the house to an Uber Eats delivery. 'He's lucky he didn't end up by my house (because) he would have been dinner,' Jaime Cook wrote. 'I'd have a freezer full of gator meat,' David Danna posted. 'This is south Louisiana. We call this a good day. (That) don't shoot back,' Mitchell Harris said. 'Just imagine seeing that going out of the door in the morning if (you are) running late for work,' Sarah McMichael wrote. Maurepas is about a 70-mile drive northwest from New Orleans.
