July 6, 2026, City of Hammond, LA – The Hammond Police Department is investigating a second degree battery that occurred in the early morning hours of June 27, 2026.
At approximately 2:00 am, HPD responded to the area of North Cate Street and East Robert Street following an altercation in which the victim sustained moderate injuries requiring medical treatment. Review of security footage showed two suspects approach the victim and strike him multiple times. One suspect then entered a black four-door sedan, possibly a Hyundai Sonata, with modifications including loud extended exhaust pipes, a “Skar” audio sticker on the rear passenger window, and an extended camera mount on the trunk/rear glass. The second suspect entered a second vehicle, a white four-door BMW with a black hood and sunroof, which is seen arriving and leaving with the black sedan.

Underage Sales Enforcement Nets Citations
AMITE (July 5, 2026)- Thanks to the support of a Louisiana Highway Safety Commission (LHSC) grant, 7 business clerks were cited during a series of operations to uncover and address underage tobacco and alcohol sales and use.
Over the past few months, Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) deputies from all divisions were assigned an additional shift focused solely on identifying businesses, their employees, and customers engaged in unlawful sales of alcohol and tobacco in an effort to reduce underage substance abuse. During the operation, more than 38 retail alcoholic beverage and tobacco establishments on the southern end of the parish were visited, where seven individuals were cited for Unlawful sale, purchase, or possession of tobacco, alternative nicotine products or vapor products.
Sheriff Gerald Sticker wants to commend all of the employees who follow sales laws on a daily basis, as well as the business owners who hold their employees to the standards not only set by the law but the expectations set by our community.
The TPSO is grateful for the opportunity to conduct this operation, which was made possible through the Juvenile Underage Drinking Enforcement (JUDE) grant coordinated and funded by the LHSC in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Celebrate responsibily, look out for one another, and help keep our community safe!
