The Baton Rouge Police Department reported Friday that a man who appears to be clutching a gun in a Santa photo at the Mall of Louisiana was caught on an outstanding warrant from the state of Texas.
In the photo, the two men are seen holding large amounts of cash as they pose with Santa at the mall on Bluebonnet Boulevard in Baton Rouge.
One of the men appeared to be in possession of a weapon.
The photo has since went viral on social media, and some people are doubting the mall’s security precautions.
“The incident is currently under investigation with BRPD and I’m not allowed to release any information while under an active investigation.”
The Mall of Louisiana’s Senior General Manager, Gene Satern, said that mall management is aware of the photograph.
