Good morning, Slidell.
🚨 Crime
Corey Griffin, 39, fired at police after a 911 hang-up call on Riviera Drive just after midnight Monday and then fled the scene, later being found hiding in an abandoned car — he now faces aggravated assault and attempted first degree murder charges — while police continue to search for his missing gun.
Slidell police were fired upon while responding to a domestic violence complaint on Monday morning, and a suspect who shot at officers and fled on foot was later found hiding in an abandoned vehicle—no officers were injured.
🏛️ Government
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear arguments from Chevron and Exxon on moving coastal wetlands lawsuits from local parishes to federal court — a decision that may impact a recent $745 million verdict and 42 similar cases seeking billions to restore Louisiana’s coastline.
The oil companies claimed they fulfilled World War II federal contracts, a defense that lower courts have rejected.
