A Shreveport man was one of several suspects arrested with a firearm on the Grambling State University campus during Homecoming weekend of October 18-19.
Troshun Moseley, 26, was arrested at about 2:00 a.m. on October 19 after he allegedly removed a firearm from his waistband and placed it in his car when approached by a campus police officer.
GSU officials, aware of violent incidents during Homecoming week in the past, took extra precautions including Louisiana State Police troopers supplementing campus police officers over the weekend. Moseley was one of several men arrested with guns.
A GSU officer on patrol saw Moseley and another man standing between two housing units and approached them since it was after the campus midnight curfew. When asked to identify themselves, Mosley walked toward his vehicle and the officer noticed he was holding the front of his waistband as he walked.
Mosley opened the driver’s door and removed an object from his waistband and placed it in the bottom storage compartment of the driver’s door. Other officers then saw a handgun in plain view sticking out of the storage compartment. A Burgu BRG9 9mm pistol was recovered from the door. The vehicle smelled like marijuana and a partially-smoked marijuana “blunt” was seen in plain view on the console of the front seat.
Mostly admitted he had a firearm in the vehicle but denied having it on him.
Mosley was arrested for possession of the gun in a firearm-free school zone and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
Bail was set at $25,000.
