A Special education teacher at Haynesville Elementary was arrested on a misdemeanor charge Tuesday, according to Minden police.

Kylie Frith is charged with simple theft, according to Minden Police Deputy Chief Tokia-Whiting Harrison.

Orleans on Main framed art Framed art piece stolen from Orleans on Main in Minden.

Frith is accused of stealing a framed art piece from the bathroom of Orleans on Main Bistreaux in Minden on July 18, by allegedly concealing it under her clothing and leaving the establishment.

Harrison said after detectives contacted Frith, she admitted to taking the artwork. According to Harrison, she later turned herself in at the police station, where she was arrested by Det. Kenny James.

“Our staff noticed it was gone the next morning while cleaning and prepping for the day. We knew it was there around 8 p.m. the night before. So, I watched the cameras from 8 to close and caught it,” said Michael Elshout, owner of Orleans on Main Bistreaux.

In still photographs taken from the restaurant’s camera footage, imprints of what appear to be the frame of the art piece can be seen in the front of Frith’s dress.

According to Elshout, the art has not been recovered. He said Frith has been banned from the restaurant.

It’s a good thing that everyone knows where Minden is, so the reporter didn’t need to bother to say.

I think this one is in Louisiana, but there is one in Nevada and Germany.

The TV station is in Shreveport, LA, and there’s also a Haynesville in northern LA, so it’s a pretty good bet that they’re talking about the Minden in Louisiana, yes. Some of the worst newswriting anywhere comes out of television stations.

Wondering then, how did they know she was the one? How many women used the restroom during the day?

Come on, are you serious?....
