LSU Police arrest pair accused of stealing scooters on campus
BATON ROUGE — LSU Police arrested two armed men while investigating a string of scooter thefts on campus late last month.
Surveillance footage shows two men arriving in the Nicholson Gateway area in a silver Honda and travelling together as they approached various scooters. Footage shows the two men on Oct. 18 approaching the Oxbow Hall bike rack on foot, operating numerous scooters and loading the scooters into the trunk of their Honda before leaving the area.
Officers identified the men as 31-year-old Jamal Clark and 27-year-old Daniel Williams and arrested the pair the following week, around 1 a.m. on Oct. 22, when LSU officers recognized the men—who are not students at the school—as suspects in the multiple scooter thefts.
No evidence indicates that any other individuals removed scooters from the bike rack during the relevant timeframe, according to a probable cause form filed by officials.
