The City of Central recently received a letter of rejection from the US Postal Service, for their request to obtain a unique zip code for their city. The city, which was incorporated in April 2005, has several zip codes within their city limits including ones from Greenwell Springs and Baton Rouge. The main reason stated by Jeffery Taylor of the USPS was that “Approval of the address designation of Central, LA would be inviting operational difficulties that would result in deteriorated service and higher prices“.  Here is the entire letter submitted from the USPS to Mayer Watts of Central:

East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office Detectives are looking for a man that stole money from CVS Pharmacy on 15255 George O’Neal Rd. at approximately 12:12 p.m on November 11.

According to reports,  an unknown black male was observed sneaking into the store office and taking money. (Amount not to be released at this time)

The suspect is described as black male, wearing a gold and white striped shirt, black jeans and brown sunglasses.

Anyone with information concerning this incident or the identity of the suspect is asked to contact the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office at 225-389-5000. Crime Stoppers is also offering a cash reward for anyone with information leading to the arrest of those responsible.  Contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at (225) 344- STOP or (225) 344-7867.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office received a brand new substation this month. The substation which is adjacent to the Ochsner Medical Facility off of O’Neal Lane will not be an actual uniformed patrol substation, rather, it will house the Traffic, Armed Robbery/Burglary and the Auto Theft divisions of the Sheriff’s Office. The Kleinpeter substation on Airline Hwy at Barringer Foreman is still the main uniform patrol substation responsible for the O’Neal lane area. Ochsner offered the facility free of charge in order to acquire more of a police presence in the area.

The new office is located at 1759 Physician’s Park which runs off O’Neal lane just south of I-12:
