And like I said the guy is a cheap scum bag who tries to short people pretty consistently. That's why my friend is leaving.
I would report the boss to Louisiana Workforce Commission, and if unsuccessful to small claims.
I believe the boss would have to show that somehow the employee owes money to the employer to do that. Also, IIRC there's penalties in Louisiana for illegally withholding money from a paycheck.

Deductions from Wages
An employer may not fine an employee or withhold or deduct fines from an employee’s wages, unless:
the employee willfully or negligently damages goods or works,
the employee willfully or negligently damages or breaks the employer’s property, or
the employee is convicted or pleads guilty to theft of the employer’s funds.
Louisiana Stat. 23:635
Thus, an employer may not deduct from an employees wages, except when the above conditions are met:
cash shortages
breakage, damage, or loss of the employer’s property
required uniforms
required tools
other items necessary for employment

Big mistake, lawyer up with a plaintiff's employment lawyer ASAP.
