BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — The Baton Rouge Police Department is asking for help locating a teen and two unknown suspects accused of causing around $50,000 in damages to a local venue.
Police said Javin Thomas and two others — one male and one female — are accused of illegally going into the Raising Cane’s River Center at 275 South River Road and causing around $50,000 in damages.
