Marrero – At approximately 2:30 a.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop B responded to a single-vehicle crash on US 90B near Ames Blvd. in Jefferson Parish. As a result of the crash investigation, State Representative Kyle M. Green, Jr. of Marrero was arrested for DWI and child endangerment.
The initial investigation revealed that Green was traveling westbound on US 90B in a 2023 Honda Accord when he ran off the roadway to the right and struck a concrete barrier. Upon arrival at the scene, Troopers noticed signs of impairment and conducted a series of standardized field sobriety tests. Green was subsequently placed under arrest. At the time of the crash, Green’s three children were in the Honda, uninjured, and were released to a family member.
Troopers transported Green, who was uninjured in the crash, to the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center, where he refused to provide a breath sample. Details of the incident and arrest were provided to an on-call judge, who approved a search warrant that allowed Troopers to obtain blood samples. Troopers booked Green for First Offense DWI, three counts of DWI with Child Endangerment, Careless Operation, Improper Lane Use, and a Traffic Attachment from Jefferson Parish.
