Cops arrested a Louisiana State Representative early this morning.
"At approximately 2:30 a.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop B responded to a single-vehicle crash," Trooper Jacob Pucheu explained in a news release.
When police arrived at the scene on the Westbank Expressway near Ames Blvd., they found a Louisiana legislator and his children in a crashed car.
"State Representative Kyle M. Green, Jr. of Marrero was arrested for DWI and child endangerment."
Pucheu says Green had crashed into a concrete barricade.
"Troopers noticed signs of impairment and conducted a series of standardized field sobriety tests. Green was subsequently placed under arrest. At the time of the crash, Green’s three children were in the Honda, uninjured, and were released to a family member."
Green refused a breath test.
"Details of the incident and arrest were provided to an on-call judge, who approved a search warrant that allowed Troopers to obtain blood samples. Troopers booked Green for First Offense DWI, three counts of DWI with Child Endangerment, Careless Operation, Improper Lane Use, and a Traffic Attachment from Jefferson Parish."
As of 11:00am, Green was still listed as being in the jail... awaiting a judge to set bond.
