Background check: Now that the six finalists for NOPD chief have been revealed, the public vetting has begun. And one candidate, a former NOPD officer who went on to other policing jobs, has a past that could prove controversial. Thedrick Andres Sr. killed a man after a party in Arlington, Texas, in 2014. As John Simerman reports, a grand jury rejected charges against Andrew, and a judge threw out a civil suit brought by the man's family, saying Andres' actions were not unreasonable. Here's a look at the rest of the candidates for the job of top cop in New Orleans. Sticker shock: New Orleans property owners are set to receive letters from the Orleans Parish Assessor's Office later this month, and they may not like what they find. As Ben Myers reports, a considerable jump in property taxes could await many of them. Even the tax assessor says he was a little surprised. WWOZ finds a home: WWOZ courted controversy recently with a plan to relocate the Warehouse District, but now has a plan to lease space in a signature building the board deems more appropriate for the city's signature voice of music, culture and heritage on the radio. Tony McAuley has the details. Catching on? The Saints seem to have a knack for finding diamonds in the rough, with late-round draft picks and undrafted free agents often making a name for themselves. With football season coming up, Patrick Magee has a look at five undrafted players with the best chance of making the team's roster. Thanks for spending some time with us today.
