LSU student arrested after allegedly stealing $1,500 worth of beer from Tiger Stadium: reports

A 19-year-old student at LSU was arrested early Sunday morning after allegedly taking off with approximately $1,500 worth of beer from Tiger Stadium, according to multiple reports. 

Bryce Tilotta, 19, was arrested and charged with one count of simple burglary after he and several others were captured on surveillance video carrying several cases of beer out of LSU’s football stadium on Sunday, USA Today reported. 

According to WBRZ, a group of people described as “college-age males” were seen by officers carrying the cases of beer around 3 a.m., but quickly fled the scene before officers could approach them. 

Police then reviewed surveillance from the stadium and identified the same group taking the cases of alcohol and placing them in a black pickup truck, which was later identified as belonging to Tilotta.

According to the report, police located the vehicle in the Spruce Hall parking lot and received consent to search Tilotta’s room, where the cases were eventually located. 

The student reportedly admitted to the theft, which was estimated to be around $1,500 worth of beer.

Dear Abby: My ‘influencer’ daughter lives at home and doesn’t pay bills

DEAR ABBY: My 28-year-old daughter moved back home when COVID hit. She works as an influencer and also has a part-time job as a content creator. She doesn’t pay bills. My husband doesn’t want her to pay rent, etc. I feel it’s important for her to do so. She does pay for her groceries and gas. 

She stays in her room day and night. She used to go out with friends, but now doesn’t do anything. She says she has cyber friends. We have asked her to come out with us at times, but she refuses. Another problem is, she hasn’t gone to the doctor or dentist in a very long time. I talked with her about it, and she blamed me for not taking her. I offered to go with her, but she doesn’t do anything about it. 

My husband doesn’t think there is a problem, but I feel there is. I feel we have enabled her, although we didn’t mean to. Should we be charging her rent? How do we get her to become more social? How do we get her the right help so she can move forward in life? — CONCERNED MOM IN RHODE ISLAND

DEAR CONCERNED MOM: A step in the right direction would be for your husband to take his head out of the sand and admit that his daughter may have a problem. The next step would be to have a frank talk with her and tell her that if she is going to continue living with you, she must agree to have medical and dental checkups. Go with her so you can understand what is going on, because your daughter appears to have some emotional issues. Her “world” may be on the web, but unless she can find one on terra firma, expect her to be under your roof forever.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been in a relationship with my partner (we’re both male) for more than four years. He argues nonstop about everything from politics to why the squirrel outside ran across the street. Daily, I hear him complain about everything, from the news to the grocery list, laundry, you name it. 

A friend of mine will be in town this weekend. He invited my partner and me to a football game. When I shared this with my partner, he immediately declined, complained about the invite and said he’d rather stay home. I’ve had it up to here with his negativity, and I have decided to end this relationship. 

I’m not happy with this, and I have decided that if my out-of-town friend wants me to start a new life with him, I would be all for it. I’d rather be happy and not have to deal with this. Life is too short. Your thoughts? — DONE WITH IT IN COLORADO

DEAR DONE: If you are not happy with your partner, level with him about it. If counseling would improve things, see if he’s willing to give it a try. If not, consult an attorney who specializes in family law and proceed with ending the union. 

A word of caution, however, and I cannot stress this too strongly: You implied that you would like to be romantically involved with the friend who invited you to that football game. JUMPING INTO ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP BEFORE YOU HAVE RECOVERED FROM THIS ONE WOULD BE A HUGE MISTAKE. Give yourself time to detoxify. Meet people. Date around. You will have plenty of fun if you do, and less of a chance for another failed relationship.

Knicks’ Tom Thibodeau goes with rarely used quintet to close out win

With an injured Julius Randle in the locker room, and Jalen Brunson playing at less than 100 percent, Tom Thibodeau turned to a rarely used quintet to close out the Knicks’ all-important victory Wednesday night over the Heat.

Thibodeau used the same five players — starters Quentin Grimes and RJ Barrett and second-teamers Immanuel Quickley, Josh Hart and Isaiah Hartenstein — for the entire fourth quarter as the Knicks reduced their magic number to clinch a playoff berth to one with a 101-92 win over Miami at the Garden.

Brunson, in his first game back after missing two with a sprained right hand, was called back from the scorer’s table about midway through the quarter.

“The game swayed right there, and so we had a lot of guys in, playing roles they’re not accustomed to, in positions, but we managed it well, I thought,” Thibodeau said. “We had just taken a five-point lead, so I wanted to see where it would go. And I felt we just got into a good rhythm.

“The things about Jalen is he’s always team-first, I said let’s see the next couple of minutes, how it goes, and we went on a run right there and just rode it out right there. Some nights that’s the way it is.”

Thibodeau said he was happy to hear that ESPN reported that Spurs coaching legend Gregg Popovich will be a part of the 2023 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class that officially will be announced this weekend at the Final Four in Houston.

“Just I think what he’s done in the league, and again, the mark of greatness,” Thibodeau said before the game. “We were just talking about [Heat president] Pat [Riley]. Same thing with Pop.

“To be at that level for as long as he has, and he’s obviously a great leader, and he’s done an incredible job. You know what they stand for, but also to do it with the humility that he has, I think that’s really stood out.”


Out-of-the-rotation veteran Derrick Rose was unavailable for the second straight game.

Multiple feared dead after two army helicopters collide over Kentucky

Multiple people are feared dead after two army helicopters collided in the air above Kentucky Wednesday night, officials said.

The two 101st Airborne Division helicopters crashed during a routine training mission over Trigg County at around 10 p.m., Fort Campbell officials said.

Early Thursday, Army officials at the fort said the status of the crewmembers who were aboard each HH60 Blackhawk copter was unknown.

However an Army soldier at the scene of the wreck told local radio station WKDZ that multiple people had died and the county coroner had been called.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear also said he suspects there will be multiple fatalities.

“We’ve got some tough news out of Fort Campbell, with early reports of a helicopter crash and fatalities are expected,” Beshear tweeted. “[Kentucky State Police, Kentucky Emergency Management,] and local officials are responding.”

Firefighters responded to extinguish flames shooting out from the mangled aircrafts, photos obtained by the radio station show.

A resident who lives about a half-mile away from the collision site told the station they heard “a pop and two booms” at the time of the mid-air crash.

Army officials said the collision is under investigation.

“The command is currently focused on caring for the servicemembers and their families,” Fort Campbell officials said.

Islanders have been on roll since this Adam Pelech’s return

WASHINGTON — Ryan Pulock knows Adam Pelech’s game as well as anyone walking the planet, having partnered with the defenseman for much of both players’ careers, dating back to their days in AHL Bridgeport.

So when Pulock takes note of a performance, it is no passing compliment.

And Pulock took note on Monday.

“I told him after the game or [the next] morning, he was like a snake out there,” Pulock said. “He was all over the place, breaking up plays, there’s guys trying to go one-on-one with him, they basically got nowhere.”

Pelech’s 25:02 time on ice in a 5-1 win against the Devils, which coach Lane Lambert called one of the best games he’d ever seen from him, put something of an exclamation point on a fact that’s been evident since Pelech returned to the lineup over two months ago.

He just might be the most important player on this team.

The Islanders went 7-9-5 after Pelech went down with a concussion in early December, including a January nadir in which their playoff hopes nearly faded into oblivion.

Since his return, they’re 16-8-4 following Wednesday’s 2-1 shootout win against the Capitals, having weathered an injury to Mathew Barzal and coming close to locking down a spot in the postseason.

“He’s obviously just a really good player for us on the back end, that’s really important,” Noah Dobson told The Post. “And then obviously when he comes back, it adds another piece to our back end, that’s really important. So it’s not that surprising. He’s a significant piece.”

That has always been the line around Pelech. But the last few months have been a case of show don’t tell.

“Seems like he’s always solid and in a good position and with a good stick,” Brock Nelson told The Post. “He’s always breaking plays up. Something that the average person might not recognize, but if you hone in and kinda iso-cam, you’d probably appreciate his game a little bit more. Especially defensively, he’s always in the way, in lanes, good sticks, breaking up potential dangerous plays.”

Pelech had just 19 points this season going into Wednesday’s game against the Capitals, five goals and 14 assists. He’s never been considered a Norris Trophy contender and last year was his only time being selected for the All-Star team.

The best ways to understand his impact are to watch him on every shift and to watch the Islanders without him. The difference is subtle but stark — an unstated element of calm settles over the Islanders when he’s in the game.

Some of that shows up in the numbers. Pelech leads the Islanders in plus-minus and has a 51.6 expected goals percentage at five-on-five, per Natural Stat Trick. Since being paired with Scott Mayfield, the two have formed the most effective duo on the Isles’ back end despite usually matching up with the opposing top line.

Much of what Pelech does, though, is intangible and irreplaceable.

“What he brings every night in different areas of the game, defensively and on the PK and whatnot, is hard to replace,” Pulock said. “When you get a player back like that, it’s good for the morale of the team. It just translates on the ice, just good leadership and a solid rock back there.”

Who knows where the Isles would be if Pelech’s injury had kept him out longer. They’re glad they don’t have to find out.

“Teams have top players for a reason and teams miss top players for a reason,” Lambert said. “He’s a huge piece of our team. When he’s in, we’re a better team.”

Manhattan basketball players rip school for bypassing interim coach

The announcement Wednesday that Manhattan has hired John Gallagher as head coach of the men’s basketball team has incited an uproar from Jaspers players in support of interim coach and alumnus RaShawn Stores.

Two players expected to be part of the 2023-24 Jaspers, Adam Cisse and Aryan Arora, have entered the transfer portal, while two players from last season’s team, fifth-year senior guards Nick Brennen and Samir Stewart, said the hiring appears to be racially motivated.

Gallagher, 45 and most recently the head coach at Hartford, is white, while the 31-year-old Stores, a two-time captain and back-to-back MAAC champion for the Jaspers, is black.

“Unfortunately during my time here, I’ve seen racism kind of play a role in a lot of things,” Brennen said. “I don’t want to believe that’s what it was, but there’s no other black [head coach] on this campus.”

Brennen claimed that during his first year at Manhattan, the team was told that alumni took issue with the “Black Lives Matter” patches on the Jaspers’ jerseys and those of every other MAAC team.

The players also had requested “Black Lives Matter” be printed on the court, but their requests were denied.

“Honestly, whoever made the final decision made it clear he didn’t want a black head coach,” Stewart said.

According to Marianne Reilly, director of intercollegiate athletics at the college, Manhattan received more than 200 applications from a diverse pool of candidates for the position.

“Any [assertion] that race had to do anything with this is absolutely incorrect,” Reilly said.

Stores stepped up as interim head coach just a few days before the start of the season after the unexpected termination of Steve Masiello.

Stores had been an assistant under Masiello since 2017.

Upon Masiello’s firing, three key players, including star Jose Perez, left the program in a matter of days.

Despite the turnover, Stores led the Jaspers to a 12-18 overall record and 10-10 in the MAAC this season, their most conference wins since 2014-15, when they made their last NCAA Tournament appearance.

Manhattan players had been campaigning for weeks on social media for Manhattan to “remove the interim tag” from Stores’ title.

“Yeah let’s just go against what the students, every player, alumni and supporter wants,” Brennen tweeted on Tuesday, after news of Gallagher’s hiring was leaked on Twitter

Cisse, set to be a fifth-year senior, and Arora a junior, entered the transfer portal since Gallagher was hired. Reached by The Post, Arora declined to comment on the hiring or his reasons for deciding to enter the transfer portal.

Brennen said after Gallagher’s hiring, members of the team immediately cleared out their lockers, intending to never return. He expects the Jaspers have lost the support of most senior members.

“We were going to have to do it at some point and [Tuesday] seemed like the day,” Brennen told The Post. “I know that I will never be coming back to a game here.”

Brennen said he believed the decision not to hire Stores came from board members who “haven’t even been to a game this season.”

Dr. Ronald Gray, the college’s vice President of student life, added that the candidate pool was representative of the student population and Catholic values Manhattan College upholds.

“RaShawn did a great job, he really did. But when you have a national search, and you interview multiple people, it’s open,” Reilly said. “And when you look at things like experience, or head-coaching experience — those things play a factor.”

Stores had looked to change the culture of the program. He served food to students at the school’s dining hall, delivering treats to different campus departments, forming supportive relationships with other teams on campus and taking his daughter to meet students on the Quad.

His wife, Callan Stores, is the assistant coach of the women’s basketball team at Manhattan. The two met while they were assistants for their respective Jasper teams and were married in 2021. Their daughter, Raylan, was born last year.

“He [Stores] taught us a lot more than just basketball,” Brennen said. “He really taught us how to be men.”

Gallagher went 169-207 with Hartford from 2010-22 and led the Hawks to the NCAA Tournament in 2021.

He resigned from that job last November, less than two days before the start of the season, claiming the school had breached his contract and jeopardized player safety. Before Hartford, Gallagher served as assistant coach at Boston University, Pennsylvania, Hartford, Lafayette and LaSalle.

“John brings more than two decades of college coaching experience to Manhattan and has success and experience in leading a team to the NCAA Tournament,” Reilly said in a statement released by the college. “He has a track record of excellent recruiting, developing student-athletes and providing a world-class student-athlete experience.”

Reilly said she hopes Stores will stay on “at some capacity,” but admitted the decision is ultimately up to Gallagher.

“It sucks to be in the position of the new coach. No one is … attacking him,” Brennen said. “It would have happened to anyone who got the job because no one but Ray [RaShawn] deserved the job.”

Idaho Prosecutors Disclose Info About ‘Internal Affairs Investigation’ Against Officer in Bryan Kohberger Quadruple Murder Case


Accused killer Bryan Kohberger enters Idaho courtroom

Latah County prosecutors this week disclosed information about an “internal affairs investigation” against an officer in the case against accused murderer Bryan Kohberger.

Bryan Kohberger, 28, is accused of fatally stabbing 20-year-old Ethan Chapin of Conway, Washington; 21-year-old Madison Mogen of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; 20-year-old Xana Kernodle of Avondale, Arizona; and 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves of Rathdrum, Idaho on November 13.


Murder victims from left: Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Maddie Mogen

According to the court documents, Kohberger’s DNA was found on a tan leather knife sheath left behind on Maddie Mogen’s bed on the 3rd floor at the King Road Residence.

“The sheath was later processed and had ‘Ka-Bar’ ‘USMC’ and the United States Marine Corps eagle globe and anchor insignia stamped on the outside of it,” Idaho police officer Brett Payne wrote in the 19-page affidavit. “The Idaho state lab later located a single source of male DNA (suspect Profile) left on the button snap of the knife sheath.”

Pennsylvania unsealed search warrants that revealed a number of items seized by law enforcement from Bryan Kohberger’s parents’ home during a December 30 raid.

Authorities seized black gloves, a Glock, a knife (possibly the murder weapon?), black face masks, ‘green leafy substance’ in a plastic bag and other items.

Police also seized parts of Bryan Kohberger’s white Hyundai Elantra.

Tire irons, a shovel, floor mats, a door panel, seats and seat cushions, headrests, seatbelt, brake pedal, gas pedal, a band-aid and other items were seized from the vehicle.

Prosecutors on Monday sent “potential Brady/Giglio material” related to an officer to Kohberger’s public defender.

“Brady material refers to information that could potentially be exculpatory for a defendant, meaning it could prove his or her innocence. Giglio material pertains to information that could impeach the credibility of a witness – in this case, an officer who worked on Kohberger’s case.” Fox News reported.

The judge granted a protective order to hide the material from the public so it is unclear if the officer’s misconduct is related to Kohberger’s case.

NBC News reported:

Idaho prosecutors disclosed evidence to Bryan Kohberger’s legal team Monday that they say involves an internal affairs investigation into an officer who was part of the University of Idaho murder case.

The state filed a request for a protective order to keep the investigation out of the public, saying it wished to disclose the investigation as “potential Brady/Giglio material.” It’s unclear what the internal affairs inquiry involved, when it was launched or how central the officer was to the college murder investigation.

Prosecutors made Monday’s disclosure under the state’s Brady law obligations, which require a prosecution to disclose evidence that might be beneficial in a suspect’s case. Brady material could include evidence that goes against a witness’ credibility, according to Cornell Law School.

More on the Brady/Giglio material from NewsNation:

Kohberger could face a firing squad if convicted since Idaho’s governor just signed a new law that brought back the method of legal execution.

Victims of Nashville school shooting honored in somber vigil

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Hundreds gathered Wednesday at a candlelight vigil in Nashville to honor and mourn the three children and three adults who were killed in a shooting at a Christian school this week.

The downtown ceremony for the victims of the shooting at The Covenant School was somber and at times tearful, as speaker after speaker read the names of the victims and offered condolences to their loved ones. The family of Mike Hill, a 61-year-old custodian who was among those killed, was in attendance, including his seven children.

First lady Jill Biden also was on hand but did not address the crowd. Sheryl Crow sang “I Shall Believe” and ended with the lyrics from a Dionne Warwick song, “What the World Needs Now is Love, Sweet Love.” Margo Price sang an a cappella version of “Tears of Rage.” And Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show led the crowd in the Christian hymn, “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” which brought many to tears.

“Just two days ago was our city’s worst day,” Mayor John Cooper said. “I so wish we weren’t here, but we need to be here.”

Shaundelle Brooks, who lost her 23-year-old son, Akilah Dasilva, in the 2018 Nashville Waffle House shooting, said she went to the vigil to support the families of those slain at the school.

“I know what it’s like to be a parent — what it feels like, like you’re drowning and can’t move, and that weakness and that hole that comes in your stomach,” she said.

Police have said a 28-year-old former student drove up to the school Monday morning, shot out the glass doors, entered and began firing indiscriminately.

The dead were identified as as students Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, all 9 years old; Katherine Koonce, 60, the head of the school; substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61; and Hill.

Authorities have not yet determined the shooter’s motive but say the assailant did not target specific victims.

Price, who has been particularly vocal about Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee’s position on state gun laws, tweeted after the shooting: “Our children are dying and being shot in school, but you’re more worried about drag queens than smart gun laws? You have blood on your hands.” Crow and Secor also called for stricter gun laws in tweets posted after the shooting.

But there was no talk of gun control at the vigil, as people steered clear of the political divide between blue-leaning Nashville and ruby red Tennessee. Republicans and Democratic lawmakers stood together in asking for remembrance of the six who died.

Lee said Tuesday that Peak was a close friend of his wife, Maria, and that the two had been planning to meet for dinner after Peak’s work that day.

“Maria woke up this morning without one of her best friends,” Lee said in a video statement, adding that his wife once taught with Peak and Koonce. The women, he said, “have been family friends for decades.”

Earlier Wednesday, Pope Francis sent condolences to Nashwville and offered prayers to those affected.

George Grant, a pastor and leader with the Nashville Presbytery, also avoided any mention of politics.

“As pundits and politicians try to make sense out of the senseless, we’re not really asking why. We know why — we live in a broken, fallen world,” Grant said. The church linked to the school is a member of the presbytery, which includes congregations in middle Tennessee and southwestern Kentucky.

In a blog post Wednesday, Grant recounted how notifications about an active shooter at the school interrupted a presbytery planning meeting that included Chad Scruggs, Covenant Presbyterian Church pastor and father of one of the shooting victims.

“We emptied into the hallway, stricken, eyes clouded with unbelief, horror and grief. … Our worst fears were realized,” Grant wrote.

Police said the shooter, identified as Audrey Hale, was under a doctor’s care for an undisclosed emotional disorder and was not on the radar of police before the attack. Hale was fatally shot by police at the school Monday.

Authorities have given unclear information on Hale’s gender.

For hours Monday, police identified the shooter as a woman. Later in the day, the police chief said Hale was transgender. In an email Tuesday, a police spokesperson said Hale “was assigned female at birth” but used masculine pronouns on a social media profile.

Maria Colomy, a former teacher at the Nossi College of Art & Design in Nashville, recalled Hale as a talented artist while a student in Colomy’s social media class in 2017. Colomy remembered Hale “going above and beyond” on projects.”

She said she saw postings on Facebook during the past year in which Hale wrote about the death of a romantic partner and asked to be called by a male name and male pronouns.

Hale had “been very publicly grieving” on Facebook, Colomy said. “It was during that grief (Hale) said, ’In this person’s honor, I am going to be the person who I want to be, and I want to be called Aiden.’”

On Hale’s first day at the Nossi School, Colomy said she saw Hale become frustrated while trying to log into the student portal and start to cry.

“I went up to (Hale) and said, ‘Hey, if you need to step out, it’s totally OK,’” Colomy said. But after that, Colomy said Hale began to feel safe at school and “really started thriving.”

Samira Hardcastle, who attended both middle and high school with Hale, said Hale seemed sweet and socially awkward. Hardcastle said she spoke to Hale briefly last month at an event for a mutual friend, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

“I don’t think we can rationalize irrational actions, so I am just trying to make peace with that,” she said.

Merrick Garland Lies Under Oath – Exposed for Telling US Marshals NOT to Arrest Leftist Protesters Outside SCOTUS Justices’ Homes – But Calls for 1,000 More Arrests of Trump Supporters Standing Outside US Capitol on Jan. 6

Impeach this bum.

Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) confronted Attorney General Merrick Garland on his defilement of US Justice system.

Merrick Garland, arguably the most dishonest AG in US history, refuses to investigate or prosecute blatant criminal activity on the left.  But hunts down Trump supporters and raids their homes at 6 AM in the morning for walking inside the US Capitol on January 6 after they were waved in by police officers.

On Tuesday during the Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Senator Britt questioned Garland about the fact that US Marshals guarding the homes of Supreme Court justices were instructed “not to arrest protesters” at the homes. This was despite the fact that Garland previously claimed that the marshals had a free hand when it came to making arrests.

Senator Britt: You said, quote, “The marshals have been advised, and they know and the marshals on the ground, they have full authority to arrest people under any federal statute, including that federal statute,” end quote. That was in direct reference to Section 1507. You went on to say, the Attorney General does not decide whether to arrest. The Marshals on the scene they do make the decision of whether to arrest.”

The freshman senator continued:

Senator Britt: “After your appearance before the Judiciary Committee, we obtained copies of the slide deck that were used to train and prepare the Marshals for their protective detail at the homes of the Justices. Those training materials show that the marshals likely didn’t make any arrests under Section 1507 for a pretty simple reason they were actively discouraged from doing so. As you can see on the slide behind me, the marshals were explicitly told to avoid, unless absolutely necessary, any criminal enforcement action involving the protester.

It gets worse. The DOJ told the Marshals NOT TO ENGAGE in “protest-related enforcement.”

Senator Britt: The next slide directs the Marshals not to engage in protest-related enforcement actions beyond those that were strictly and immediately necessary and tailored to ensure the physical security of the justices. If you’ll see in the next slide here, it discourages the Marshals from making arrests under any section 1507 by asserting that “there may be a First Amendment right to harass the families of the judges.”

That right there should be enough evidence to launch Garland’s impeachment proceedings.

The Attorney General was purposefully putting the lives of the Supreme Court justices and their families in mortal danger.  He ordered the stand down!

This guy is not an Attorney General. He is a mob boss. He is a crook.

And at the same time, he is set to arrest another 1,000 Trump supporters for standing outside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, during the Fedsurrection.  It boggles the mind.

Freshman Senator Katie Britt was outstanding.
