A Gibson woman tried to give officers a false name after a traffic stop Tuesday morning but wound up facing a charge of resisting as well as drug possession, Morgan City Police Chief James F. Blair said.
—Shina Short, 37, North Bayou Black Drive, Gibson, was arrested at 2:02 a.m. Tuesday on charges of resisting an officer-false information, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia, and on a warrant for two counts of failure to appear.
A patrol officer conducted a traffic stop in the area La. 182 and U.S. 90. During the traffic stop, officers came into contact with one of the passengers, Short. Short initially gave a false name to officers.

The Louisiana Air National Guard provided critical supplies to residents affected by the devastation caused from Hurricane Laura in several towns in central and west Louisiana recently.
 Airmen from the 159th Fighter Wing, headquartered in Belle Chasse, coordinated and established 11 points of distribution in multiple towns such as Kinder, Oberlin and Oakdale. These PODs provided critical supplies to the local populace that have been completely displaced or reside in impacted areas with food, water, ice and other much needed supplies.
 “It’s important to help the community in some of the same ways they helped us for Hurricane Katrina,” said Master Sgt. Paul Gegenheimer, a Belle Chasse native with the 159th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. “It’s helping a community that would help us in a pinch if we needed it, a chance to give back to them.”
 Each POD was manned by approximately 25 Airmen working from dawn until dusk providing supplies. Cars lined up throughout the day in need of food and water while Airmen unloaded multiple semi-trucks full of supplies and loaded them into their vehicles. Some residents waited not just for themselves, but for their neighbors as well.
 “These people and their commitment to helping their neighbors has been an awesome sight to see,” Gegenheimer said. “At one point someone came by for a 93-year-old neighbor whose power went out and couldn’t make it out for herself.”
 While the primary focus of the 159 FW has been helping the devastated communities, Airmen working each POD are also working with the COVID-19 pandemic in mind as well. At each location, Airmen are communicating with the local residents while wearing facemasks and adhering to social distancing to provide supplies in a timely manner.
 “It’s been hot, and it’s been hard work,” said Airman 1st Class Kerrigan Hebert, a New Orleans native with the 159th FW. “But seeing what these people have been through makes what we’re going through seem like nothing. It makes this work feel that much more worthwhile.”

Every casino in Louisiana took in less money in August than during August 2019, according to the latest revenue report made public Thursday.
Every casino but one took in less money last month than the month before. Though the state’s casino sector has been in decline for years, some of the recent slippage can be attributed to weather-related closures and COVID-19-related restrictions and concerns, officials say.
Under Phase Two of the White House-approved restrictions meant to control the spread of the new coronavirus, casinos have been limited to half of their normal capacity and 75% of their usual number of gaming positions. Wade Duty, executive director of the Louisiana Casino Association, said many players have been reluctant to return since casinos reopened, especially older customers.
Though the state moved into Phase Three earlier this month, the Phase Two restrictions remain in place for casinos, which also must abide by new restrictions cutting off alcohol service statewide at 11 p.m. The initial Phase Three order ended alcohol service at 10 p.m., but Gov. John Bel Edwards announced Thursday afternoon that he was tweaking his order following discussions with the Louisiana Restaurant Association.
“We are of the viewpoint that we did not move into Phase Three,” Duty told the Louisiana Gaming Control Board on Thursday. “We moved into Phase 1.75.”
Revenue for the state’s river-adjacent casinos was down about 31% in August compared to August 2019. All but two properties – both in Baton Rouge – were down by double digits.
Only the Eldorado resort in Shreveport, which was up 3.3%, made more money in August than in July.
The Harrah’s New Orleans land-based casino was down about 9% from July to August and about 49 percent year-over-year.
