BATON ROUGE – Law enforcement are committed to pushing troublemakers away from the only collegiate football game in Baton Rouge this weekend – extra officers will be on hand for the Southern home football game Saturday night, sources told WBRZ.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.

The added law enforcement comes after a handful of arrests at the homecoming game last weekend. Police arrested four to five people around gametime and later into the evening and confiscated what police quantified as “multiple …guns and assault rifles.” The weapons were taken and filed away as evidence, Baton Rouge Police said.

Of the suspects arrested, two were detained in a scuffle with the police chief and a top lieutenant, police confirmed to WBRZ. Police said Chief Murphy Paul and Deputy Chief Troy Lawrence “physically apprehended two suspects” who were armed with guns after a shooting on Swan Street a block off campus.

Sources told WBRZ, law enforcement scheduled numerous backup patrols and officers for the October 30th game in an effort to deter any other trouble.


The week leading into the Saturday game has been especially violent. Baton Rouge recently eclipsed its homicide record, more than 140 people have been killed in 2021.

"2021 is the most deadly year on record in EBR Parish history,” EBR Coroner Dr. Beau Clark said in a recent interview about the somber record.

"Things are completely out of hand. No human, no law enforcement, no judge can actually stop this today,” a mother of a crime victim told WBRZ this week.


Can we see Murphy's bodycam footage from this arrest to make sure all BRPD policies were followed?

Does this shite happen at LSU games where there are over 100,000 people on campus? (maybe not that much this year)

But is it on the overtime or extra duty pay scale?

Pretty unfortunate, especially since they have restricted officers from taking Saturdays off until Thanksgiving.

Here's a crazy thought....Don't act like freaking animals and a bigger police presence wouldn't be needed.

Maybe not today, but it can be stopped eventually if we let them stop it and in some cases (judges) make them stop it.

i wish you guys understood the black community the way my liberal friends and i do. it's not a cultural issue. it's because they're poor. my white friend who works in IT knows a black person and that's what they said.

4 people and a midget? Watching disgruntled midgets get arrested is funny.

I’d normally make more jokes about how many guns were seized but you need that on a quiet night at Mumford.

My guess is that even the toddlers are packing heat around there.

I agree with her. The crime problem and the underlying cultural socioeconomic factors are too far gone. No mayor or Police chief is going to come into town and all of a sudden change the degradation of family values, morals, and work ethic seen across vast swaths of our population.

Well no, of course not. Black culture is solely responsible for these issues. But if we let police and judges do their jobs, it would happen less because offenders wouldn't get to walk out of jail an hour later.
