AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Fraud Case in Baton Rouge: Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill’s LBI arrested Houston man Mansa Dwayne Dyer, 48, charging him with government benefits fraud and theft after investigators say he kept collecting LASERS retirement payments worth more than $43,000 after his mother died in January 2023, allegedly using her bank accounts to transfer deposits into his own. Public Safety & Courts: A Livingston Parish couple, Johnny Wolinski and Sammie Sparks of Denham Springs, face felony charges tied to alleged sexual abuse of an animal, with investigators citing search warrants and forensic review of seized phones. Health Leadership: The U.S. Senate confirmed Dr. Erica Schwartz as the new CDC director, handing the Trump administration a rare win as the agency faces major public health challenges. Weather Watch: NOAA updated its Atlantic outlook to 7–13 named storms, with 2–6 hurricanes and 0–2 major hurricanes, leaning toward below-normal activity. Local Culture: Centenary College French professor Dr. Dana Kress received the James William Rivers Prize for Excellence in Louisiana Studies for her work with Les Éditions Tintamarre. Sports Spotlight: Drew Brees is set for his Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement in Canton Saturday, with Saints camp coverage continuing to track injuries and roster decisions.
