Rampant Rats: Marijuana-Infested Police HQ in New Orleans
TL;DR
Rats infesting the aging New Orleans police headquarters have been feasting on confiscated marijuana, leaving the evidence "high," according to Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick. The building is plagued by mold, cockroaches, and broken facilities, with officers finding rat droppings on their desks. City officials are considering a $7.6 million proposal to temporarily relocate the department to a high-rise building downtown while plans for a new permanent headquarters are developed.
