State trooper arrested following second off-duty DWI

A Louisiana State Police trooper was arrested early Monday morning — for a second time this year — on a DWI charge.

Sgt. William Huggins said a 28-year-old Isaiah Gilbert of Hammond was arrested at about 1 a.m. after a patrol trooper observed his vehicle cross the divider line while traveling south on Interstate 110 in East Baton Rouge Parish.

At the time of the arrest, Gilbert was on leave following a separate incident on March 10, where he was arrested for driving while intoxicated-first offense and careless operation, Huggins said.

Gilbert has been employed with the Louisiana State Police since 2021.

During the DWI investigation Monday, Gilbert was transported to Troop A, where he gave a breath sample, which registered above the legal limit. He was transported to the East Baton Rouge Parish Jail and booked on improper lane usage; driving while intoxicated -second offense; driving while under suspension for certain offenses; simple damage to property; and open container.

Gilbert remains on leave with all law enforcement property previously recovered pending the conclusion of criminal and administrative investigations.
