BY MATTHEW ALBRIGHT | Staff writer The warehouse was the site of one of Hurricane Ida's grimmest scenes — a catastrophic evacuation of several nursing homes left patients in squalid, unhealthy conditions; several died. Bob Dean, the owner of those homes and warehouse, was already in a mountain of Louisiana legal trouble over the disaster, but now the feds are after him too. They allege that Dean misspent $4 million— much of which should have been used to improve and maintain the warehouses — and put it in his own pocket instead, buying cars, antiques and allowances for his family. Here are the accusations the feds are bringing against Dean. A handful of infamous motels are at the center of Baton Rouge's overdose crisis and are frequent sites of deadly shootings and other violence. The city passed a new ordinance to crack down on the problem, but it has never been enforced. Now city leaders are planning to change that law to give it more teeth. Here's how it will work. Ever since a police chase caused the death of two teenage bystanders, local law enforcement agencies have been under scrutiny for how and when they decide whether to launch a high-speed chase. Now a state legislator says he intends to pass a new law placing limits on when these chases can happen — and he may not be the only one. |
