😮💨 No major incidents were reported during NBA YoungBoy's two-night tour stop at the Smoothie King Center, NOPD says, though there was a false report of shots fired inside the arena Monday night. Security concerns led the department to deploy an extra 400 officers for the events.
State troopers also increased their numbers those two nights, leading to five arrests in the 7th Ward, officials said.
