According to a report from the Associated Press, on May 21, Louisiana State Representative Kyle M. Green Jr. found himself in hot water when he was arrested on numerous charges. These included driving under the influence and three counts of endangering children. Green, who represents District 83 in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, was involved in a single-vehicle accident around 2:30 a.m. on U.S. 90B near Ames Boulevard. The crash occurred when his 2023 Honda Accord collided with a concrete barrier. To make matters worse, Green's three young children were also in the car at the time of the incident. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the accident.
After receiving reports of the accident, Louisiana State Police officers arrived at the scene and noticed some signs of impairment in Green. They proceeded to conduct field sobriety tests, which ultimately led to his arrest. The representative refused to take a breathalyzer test, which resulted in troopers obtaining a search warrant for a blood sample. On top of the charges of driving while intoxicated and endangering his children, Green was also cited for careless operation of a motor vehicle, improper lane usage, and a traffic violation from Jefferson Parish.
In response to the incident, Green announced that he would be taking an immediate leave of absence from his duties in the Louisiana House of Representatives. This news was shared through a statement released by the Office of the Speaker of the House, Phillip DeVillier. In the statement, Green expressed his regret and stated that he would be focusing on his mental health and rehabilitation during his leave. DeVillier also showed his support for Green and promised to assist him in any way possible.
In an interview with NOLA, DeVillier reiterated his support for Green and his family, saying, "I will gladly do everything I can to help him and his family in their efforts." Green, who is 38 years old and has been a member of the Louisiana House since 2020, holds positions on the Commerce, Insurance, and Judiciary committees. He is a graduate of Southern University and the Southern University Law Center. However, he has not publicly addressed the charges beyond his initial statement, and the case is still under investigation.
This incident has caused quite a stir, and it has also brought attention to a similar situation in Tennessee. As a result of a protest against gun control after a shooting in Nashville, Tennessee House Republicans are pushing to expel Democratic lawmakers. It remains to be seen how Green's case will be resolved, but one thing is for sure – it serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible behavior and the consequences of one's actions.
