New Orleans police are looking for a squatting scoundrel following a Sunday night robbery in the French Quarter. About 10:30 p.m., video shows the man, whose face is covered by a bandana, hiding behind a parked car near the intersection of Ursulines Ave. and Dauphine St.

Judge Susie Morgan opted not to further fan the Bananas Foster of a dispute between Brennan brothers in a ruling issued on Friday, but she didn't end the food fight over who controls the family's famed French Quarter restaurant, either. The U.S. District judge waived off a move in April by Owen "Pip" Brennan to take control of the restaurant from his brother Ted, saying that the shareholders meeting where the ouster took place was invalid because it was not properly noticed. Even with the ruling, the future of the restaurant is still blackened with uncertainty.

Whether resembling a young Ron Swanson or hiding under the cover of night, thieves can't hide from the watchful eye of surveillance cameras. New Orleans police are searching for three people wanted in connection with separate Central Business District and French Quarter thefts. 

The NOLA Tour Guy knows the French Quarter inside and out, even the bathrooms. Today, David. G Hedges offers the first of his occasional series of reviews of the Vieux Carre's finer water closets.

A pair of early week armed robberies on opposite edges of the French Quarter have NOPD searching for suspects. In one incident, a man was forced to empty his pockets on Esplanade. In another that was caught on video, a man was robbed while sitting in his car in the CBD.

Good karma was apparently in short supply in the French Quarter on Friday. For one man, a simple act of giving money to a homeless man ended up the victim of an attack and robbery, according to New Orleans police.

Between Wednesday and Saturday, NOPD investigated five separate armed robberies in the French Quarter. Police allege all of the crimes were the work of one man. As of Sunday, this Vieux Carre villian was behind bars, according to NOPD.

State Police absolved their own ranks in an internal investigation of a Mardi Gras skirmish in which nine plainclothes officers approached two unarmed, black teens in the French Quarter. According to Colonel Mike Edmondson, the internal investigation determined that the officers acted appropriately, citing events leading up to the footage as motivation for the officers to grab and sit on the two young men. Edmonson refused to call the incident a beating.

New Orleans Fire officials placed first responders on “heightened awareness” hours after deadly explosions erupted at The Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring more than 100. However, residents got more readiness than they bargained for when choppers began circling the French Quarter after dark on Monday.

Along with festin', crowds also brought crime to the French Quarter over the weekend. A trio escaped St. Peter St. with a woman's purse on Saturday morning, but they couldn't escape surveillance video later. On Sunday, a man was arrested for bringing a boxcutter to a barfight, while a cop cornered another in the act of graffiti on Bourbon. Click through for details:
