Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams agreed to terms on a contract extension in March. The two sides have since taken the next step. 

The Rams finalized Stafford’s contract extension, a person close to the situation confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren’t permitted to discuss the deal.

The finalized deal puts a period on a long offseason of negotiations between Stafford and the Rams.

Prior to the agreement, the Rams gave Stafford’s agent permission to gauge the quarterback’s market value around the NFL after talks stalled in contract negotiations. Stafford had two years remaining on his previous deal, but it contained guaranteed money in 2026.

The Rams and Stafford have enjoyed a beneficial partnership since he was dealt to Los Angeles in a blockbuster trade with the Detroit Lions in 2021.

Stafford signed a contract extension with the Rams in March of 2022 after he led the franchise to a Super Bowl 56 title at SoFi Stadium. He then agreed to a reworked deal last offseason.

This past season, Stafford helped the Rams win the NFC West crown. He passed for 3,762 yards, 20 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. The Rams defeated the Minnesota Vikings in an emotional wild-card playoff game that was relocated to Arizona before they fell to the eventual Super Bowl 59 champion Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round.

“It was very obvious that we all wanted to continue the partnership and continue chasing some form of greatness together,” Rams general manager Les Snead said in March after the team and Stafford reached an agreement. “That’s exactly the conclusion that we got to and we’re jacked it came to that point.’

Twenty-nine years, 22 consecutive playoff appearances, five championships and an unquantifiable amount of viral interview moments.

Gregg Popovich, 76, had a long, illustrious career as head coach for the San Antonio Spurs, but after he suffered a stroke in November 2024, Popovich’s future with the team fell into question. On May 2, Popovich announced he would be stepping down as the team’s head coach, officially giving the position to former assistant coach Mitch Johnson.

On Monday, May 5, Popovich made his first public appearance since the stroke. During the news conference, he not only confirmed that he was stepping down as head coach, but also that he is transitioning to a role in the organization’s front office as the team’s president of basketball operations. In typical Pop fashion, he didn’t hesitate to make the moment fun for everyone involved, announcing himself as ‘El Jefe.’

WATCH: Popovich’s full press conference

What does Popovich’s ‘El Jefe’ title entail?

Accompanied by two of the most esteemed players from his tenure as head coach, Manu Ginóbili and Tim Duncan, Popovich announced his new title of ‘El Jefe’ (the chief or boss) on Cinco de Mayo, which cannot be a coincidence, right? Ginóbili and Duncan took Pop’s jacket off to reveal an undershirt with that very title written across the chest. The back of the shirt read ‘Señor Popovich’ as well. But what does the coaching legend’s new position mean?

The president of basketball operations is one of the top dogs in any basketball organization. They oversee basically everything that has to do with the team, including scouting, contract negotiations and decisions involving the coaching staff, among other responsibilities.

Essentially, Popovich still will be heavily involved with the Spurs. He just won’t be on the sidelines anymore.

What else did Popovich say during the press conference?

Popovich took his time at the podium to address a few issues, particularly his health and his gratitude toward the Spurs.

He said, ‘I can never express the gratitude that I have for so many people caring about the organization and sending me thoughts and prayers, that sort of thing, since I had this stroke.’ He also added that while he is recovering nicely from his stroke, he understands that the change needed to be made.

Popovich also expressed absolute faith in new head coach Mitch Johnson. ‘We need someone who is fully capable of giving their best, because that’s what this group deserves,’ said Popovich. ‘And we have that man here in San Antonio.’

Serena Williams has been an icon for decades. Her legendary play on the tennis court is only matched by her business acumen, Super Bowl dance moves, and fashion sense.

The last of that list was on full display at the 2025 Met Gala. While Williams did not co-chair the event as she did in both 2019 and 2023, that just gave her more time to prep the outfit itself. And she did not disappoint.

Although she’d offered fans of hers several looks at her full outfit before the event, it was still a great pleasure to see her don the outfit in front of everyone.

Sha’Carri Richardson finally got a long-awaited gold medal at the 2024 Paris Oympics, and the American sprinter enjoyed another victory lap of sorts during fashion’s biggest night.

Richardson was in New York Monday night for the 2025 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, returning to the star-studded red carpet event. This year, Richardson was one of the celebrities included in the Met Gala’s host committee that helps plan the event along with athletes like LeBron James, Simone Biles and Angel Reese.

She first appeared at The Met Gala in 2021 after a one-month suspension due to a positive drug test for marijuana prevented her from competing at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Her comeback for the 2024 Paris Games was a notable storyline during the track and field competition, when Richardson took home a gold medal in the women’s 4×100-meter relay and a silver medal in the women’s 100-meter dash.

Richardson ‒ known for her flashy fingernails, colorful hair and fashion sense around the track ‒ played along by wearing Valentino’s Alessandro Michele.

Five-star quarterback Jared Curtis is back in the fold for Kirby Smart and Georgia football.

The No. 2 overall player in the 2026 recruiting class has re-committed to the Bulldogs, announcing his decision on Monday afternoon. Curtis picked Georgia over the other finalist, Oregon. He had been originally committed to the Bulldogs in March 2024, but decommitted in October.

Curtis, who is ranked as the No. 1 quarterback in the 2026 class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, made official visits to Eugene, Oregon, from March 8-12 and Athens, Georgia, from March 13-16.

The 6-foot-4 quarterback plays for Nashville Christian School in Nashville, Tennessee. Auburn, South Carolina, Alabama and Ohio State were also in consideration before Georgia and Oregon became the finalists.

Here’s what you need to know about Curtis’ decision to commit to Smart and the Bulldogs:

Jared Curtis 247 rating

Star rating: Five stars
National ranking: No. 2 overall
Positional ranking: No. 1 quarterback
State ranking: No. 1 player from Tenneessee

Curtis is a five-star prospect out of Nashville Christian School in Nashville, Tennessee, according to 247Sports’ Composite rankings. He is the No. 2 overall prospect in the 2026 class, the No. 1 quarterback and the No. 1 player from Tennessee.

He is the first five-star prospect to sign with Georgia since Brock Vandagriff signed with the Bulldogs in 2021.

Curtis was named the Gatorade Tennessee football player of the year, along with other accolades.

College football’s coaches with a national championship top our top-25 list that’s dominated by the Big Ten and SEC.
Kirby Smart headlines a top trio that includes Ryan Day and Dabo Swinney.
Next wave of coaches behind championship trio includes Steve Sarkisian, James Franklin, Dan Lanning.

Only three active college football coaches have won a national championship. Each member of that championship trio is in the top three of our USA TODAY rankings of the nation’s top 25 coaches.

The rest of the top 10 includes coaches who could conceivably capture a national championship one day, based on their winning track records and presence at programs with enough clout to thrive.

The Big Ten leads all conferences with eight coaches ranked in our top 25, followed by the SEC’s seven. Those two conferences account for nine of the coaches ranked within our top 10.

These rankings reflect an aggregate of the ballots of five USA TODAY sportswriters who each voted for their top 25.

Here are our USA TODAY top 25 college football coaches:

1. Kirby Smart (Georgia)

If you want to know how good a coach is, consider what constitutes his down season. Smart’s 11-3 record last year, with an SEC championship and a College Football Playoff berth, is his version of a down season. He raised Georgia’s bar to annual expectations of a national championship. Smart remains an elite recruiter and developer, on top of being an excellent motivator. He’s built Georgia to last.

2. Ryan Day (Ohio State)

COACHES RANKINGS: SEC  | Big Ten | Big 12 | ACC

LOOKING AHEAD: Big Ten leads too-early Top 25 after spring

3. Dabo Swinney (Clemson)

Swinney will not go quietly from his perch atop the ACC. Just when you think he might be slipping in this evolved college football world, he rebounds with another ACC championship. And his roster this season is in better shape. Swinney’s aversion to transfers will be a hurdle to winning a third national championship, but his sign, develop and retain mantra keeps Clemson as the ACC’s most consistent force.

4. Steve Sarkisian (Texas)

Texas is back. No more jokes about that subject. It’s true. That’s a credit to Sarkisian. He’s the rare coach who rivals Smart’s recruiting chops, and he’s an excellent quarterback developer. Sarkisian’s best pivot for Texas, though, was re-instilling the beef and toughness at the line of scrimmage the Longhorns lacked for too many years. Sarkisian has instituted the ingredients necessary for Texas to hunt national titles.

5. James Franklin (Penn State)

A national championship continues to elude Franklin and the Nittany Lions, though last year’s team notched a pair of playoff wins to reach the semifinals. While detractors will focus on what he isn’t, Franklin has returned Penn State to national prominence and crafted a Hall of Fame-worthy résumé. As with Day, a title would force a drastic re-evaluation of Franklin’s career.

6. Dan Lanning (Oregon)

While he’s only three seasons in to his career as a head coach, the 39-year-old former Georgia assistant has transformed the Ducks into one of the elite programs in the FBS. After reaching the Fiesta Bowl in the 2023 campaign, last year’s team went unbeaten in the regular season and earned the top seed in the playoff bracket before losing in a rematch against the Buckeyes. Lanning is one of the biggest names among the next wave of coaches.

7. Marcus Freeman (Notre Dame)

Freeman seems to have cracked the code at Notre Dame after a bit of an uneven start to his time as head coach, though early growing pains were expected after the school promoted the then-35-year-old defensive coordinator late in the 2021 season. After the Irish suffered some head-scratching losses in 2022 and 2023, last year’s team lost just once in the regular season before topping Indiana, Georgia and Penn State in the playoff. Freeman’s program stands poised to annually compete for the playoff and the national title.

8. Kalen DeBoer (Alabama)

DeBoer’s Alabama career endured a bumpy debut, but didn’t we all expect that replacing Nick Saban would be a challenge? DeBoer has proven himself a winner at one coaching stop after another, particularly once Year 2 arrives. Pencil him in for at least nine wins annually. He’s recruiting well, albeit not at Saban levels. To curry favor from Alabama fans, his team must play with more discipline and consistency.

9. Lane Kiffin (Mississippi)

Kiffin once envied the coaches’ statues at Alabama. Now, he says, he’s less consumed by the idea of a statue. If he keeps winning like he has at Ole Miss, he might get that statue after all. Once an unpredictable renegade, Kiffin has evolved, becoming more consistent. He’s the Rebels’ best coach since Johnny Vaught. He keeps crushing the transfer portal and developing good quarterbacks. That’s a good formula.

10. Brian Kelly (LSU)

Kelly quietly turned LSU into Quarterback U, with Garrett Nussmeier following Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels. On the downside, he hasn’t found the right formula for LSU’s defense. Kelly showed a warmer embrace to transfers this offseason that might fix the defense. Kelly remains an indefatigable force for posting at least nine wins. That consistency worked for Notre Dame. LSU will expect more of him, eventually.

11. Matt Campbell (Iowa State)

It’s easy to forget where Iowa State was when it hired Campbell. The Cyclones had three consecutive seasons of at least nine losses and just one finish in the coaches’ poll since the 1991 season. In his nine seasons, Campbell has turned the Cyclones from an afterthought to a team that has seven bowl trips in eight seasons. He’s the winningest coach in school history with 64 victories and led ISU to its first double-digit win total last year. Campbell has been mentioned as a candidate at larger programs, but he has stayed and made this one of the country’s biggest overachievers.

12. Kyle Whittingham (Utah)

It’s hard to envision the Utes rising to become a premier program before Whittingham took the baton from Urban Meyer before the team’s 2004 bowl game. Across 20 full seasons, he has positioned a program with limited history into a perennial contender for conference titles behind a consistently stingy defense. The highlights include 167 wins in Whittingham’s tenure with 16 bowl appearances and Pac-12 titles in Utah’s final two seasons in the league. Whittingham is expected to step down in the coming seasons with assistant Morgan Scalley due to take over the job.

13. Curt Cignetti (Indiana)

All Cignetti does is win, even at Indiana. Last year’s team was the feel-good story of the Power Four after losing just once in the regular season and booking a playoff berth. Whether or not that’s sustainable is moot: Cignetti has worked wonders at every stop along the way in a head coaching career that began on the Division II level. He’s 130-37 overall across four college stops.

14. Kirk Ferentz (Iowa)

The longest-tenured coach in the FBS and the dean of the Big Ten coaching community continues to stack winning seasons. Iowa has won at least eight games in every non-COVID season since 2015 and has posted a losing record just once since 2006. While his preferred style of play has its detractors, you can’t argue with the Hawkeyes’ consistent success punching above their weight and annual push for a major bowl.

15. Chris Klieman (Kansas State)

An old-school approach has helped Klieman lead his teams to winning records every season but one since he started at North Dakota State in 2014. With Kansas State, the Wildcats are 48-28 in his six seasons, with the 2020 campaign impacted by COVID-19 the only year they missed a bowl game. Kansas State still won at least nine games the past three years, including a Big 12 title in 2022.

16. Jeff Brohm (Louisville)

Brohm makes programs better, whether that’s Western Kentucky, Purdue or now Louisville. He’ll make sure you’re punching at or above your weight. His offenses persistently thrive. Brohm’s career arc reflects a gradual, steady upward march. Now that the Louisville native is home coaching the Cardinals, he should settle in for a consistent run of ACC relevance.

17. Josh Heupel (Tennessee)

If Tennessee didn’t hit rock bottom after firing Jeremy Pruitt amid an NCAA investigation, it at least could reach down and touch the bottom. Then Josh Heupel arrived and pulled the Vols out of peril. He’s beaten Alabama twice. He jolted Tennessee’s offense to life with his warp-speed system. In a sign of coaching growth, he made the playoff by building a good defense. He’s a coach with a high floor, even if he might be nearing his ceiling.

18. Matt Rhule (Nebraska)

Rhule is starting to pull Nebraska back toward relevancy, just as he did during previous stints at Temple and Baylor. His disciplined approach should yield a breakthrough for the Cornhuskers in 2025. After turning the Owls into a Group of Five power and cleaning up a messy situation with the Bears, performing a third FBS turnaround would bolster Rhule’s case for being seen as one of the top rebuilders in the sport.

19. Bret Bielema (Illinois)

Bielema and his meat-and-potatoes style has yielded another Big Ten winner at Illinois. After winning 10 games last season, the Illini head into 2025 with a major shot at the playoff with one of the most experienced rosters in the Power Four. He’s clearly back in his comfort zone in the Big Ten after a failed five-year run at Arkansas. Before the Razorbacks, Bielema won 68 games and led teams to three Rose Bowl appearances in seven seasons at Wisconsin.

20. Kalani Sitake (Brigham Young)

Sitake took over his alma mater when it was operating as an independent. He raised BYU’s profile with a pair of double-digit win seasons prior to joining the Big 12 for the 2023 season. After an uneventful debut, the Cougars went 11-2 last season and were just a few plays from being in the playoff. BYU is back to winning, as it has seven bowl appearances in Sitake’s nine seasons, and he’s an impressive 45-18 since 2020.

21. Lance Leipold (Kansas)

Leipold is one of the rare examples of a coach rising from outside Division I to a job at a Power Four conference. He won six national titles at Wisconsin-Whitewater before giving up the comfort of being one of the dominant Division III schools to take over at Buffalo. The Bulls went to three bowl games in a row at the end of his six-year tenure before arriving at Kansas in 2021. Leipold’s success is modest by some standards with 22 wins and two bowl appearances in four seasons. But when you consider the Jayhawks had nine victories in the previous six years, this is clearly one of the great rebuilding jobs in recent history.

22. Rhett Lashlee (SMU)

With Lashlee at the wheel, the Mustangs made a breezy transition from the American Athletic Conference to the ACC. His teams consistently beat up on most of their conference opponents, a handy trick considering in-conference excellence provides an avenue to the playoff, which SMU reached last season. Lashlee elevated SMU to a level of relevance not seen since its rule-flouting Pony Express days.

23. Lincoln Riley (Southern California)

Riley’s reputation has suffered with the Trojans’ 13-11 mark over the past two years, marking the first major test of a coaching career that had gone extremely well through his first six seasons in charge at USC and Oklahoma. That’s led to some doubts over whether his offensive style is suited to succeed in the Big Ten. But Riley went 11-3 in his debut at USC and made three playoff appearances at Oklahoma, where he went 55-10 overall with four top-six finishes in the coaches’ poll. He’s also the only coach in FBS history to coach three different Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks.

24. Eli Drinkwitz (Missouri)

Drinkwitz made winning 21 games the past two seasons look much easier than it’s historically been for Missouri. His best move was surrendering play-calling before the 2023 season so he could focus more on being the program’s CEO. The offense improved, and Drinkwitz became a better coach. Missouri packs a punch in the portal sweepstakes, giving the Tigers staying power.

25. Mario Cristobal (Miami)

Recruiting is Cristobal’s super-skill. He’s a consistent force in assembling talent, which remains the surest path to success in this sport. He’s proven himself as a recruiter of both high school prospects and transfers. For his program to take the next step, Cristobal must develop his game-day coaching chops. Miami flubbed a playoff opportunity last season by losing winnable games.

Just missed our list: Dan Mullen (UNLV), Bronco Mendenhall (Utah State), Jeff Monken (Army) and Kenny Dillingham (Arizona State)

A few years ago, the Pro Bowl receiver would’ve been a highly coveted target in free agency. A few years later, he’s still without a team after the NFL draft.

The Los Angeles Chargers dealt their long-time receiver to the Chicago Bears last offseason. The 33-year-old turned in a fine season in the Windy City before hitting free agency, but it’s clear things were not the same for Allen.

He finished the season with 70 catches for 744 yards and seven touchdowns – a steep drop from the 108 catches and 1,243 yards he recorded a year earlier.

With the Bears opting to draft some pass-catchers, that likely leaves Allen on the outs. With younger and faster receivers entering the league every year, Allen is entering a new phase of his career.

Perhaps that is chasing a ring or playing a mentoring role. Regardless, there is still room for Allen in the NFL, even if it doesn’t come with the same salary or workload that it used to.

Here’s a look at some spots across the league that make sense for a veteran that still has plenty left in the tank.

Keenan Allen potential landing spots

Los Angeles Chargers

Some things just go better together. Like peanut butter and jelly, bread and butter or milk and cookies, Allen and the Chargers learned that they are better as a duo. The Chargers spent most of last season wishing they had another receiver and Allen dealt with the rude reality of life with a rookie quarterback.

While L.A. already opted for a reunion with old friend Mike Williams and drafted a pair of receivers, there is always room for more. The room is crowded, but the offseason is a time to figure these things out. The Chargers fancy themselves a potential contender next season. If the current receiver room doesn’t look the part, Allen is only one call away.

Dallas Cowboys

The draft has come and gone, but the Cowboys still need a co-star for CeeDee Lamb in the receiver room. Dallas’ depth beyond Lamb is a nightmare and it’s hard to imagine the Cowboys competing if they can’t get at least one more weapon for Dak Prescott to throw to.

Allen is available and while he doesn’t fit the profile of what the Cowboys need, beggars can’t be choosers at this stage of the offseason. Dallas would benefit from a speed option, but they would also benefit from a receiver who has shown an ability to get open and catch the ball. Allen, at the very least, checks those two boxes.

New Orleans Saints

New Orleans isn’t a contender, yet they could be a fine landing spot for Allen if no other teams come calling. The Saints welcomed back Brandin Cooks, but feature a group of receivers who were plagued by injuries last season like Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.

That might not be a recipe for success if Tyler Shough ends up getting the starting job. The rookie could step right into the starting role if Derek Carr’s shoulder injury continues to be problematic. Allen could, once again, find himself on the receiving end of passes from a rookie quarterback.

Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders have a clear need at receiver and a clear desire to win. Vegas attempted to address that first need by taking three receivers in the NFL draft, potentially closing the door on adding someone like Allen. However, there are not a lot of proven players in that room and Jakobi Meyers can only do so much. Adding their former division foe as another veteran would allow Vegas to bring their younger players along slowly.

Kansas City Chiefs

As always, the Chiefs are a wild-card here. If Allen wants to go chasing a ring, the Chiefs figure to be a logical destination. They could be in for some regression this year, but the group of receivers remains largely the same. Rashee Rice is facing a potential suspension and coming off a major knee injury. Hollywood Brown played in just two regular-season games before jumping right into playoff action. Xavier Worthy can’t do it alone.

Last season, the Chiefs traded for DeAndre Hopkins after recognizing that need. This year, maybe it’s Allen that gets that call.

Amari Cooper is one of the most prominent free agents who remains unsigned following the 2025 NFL Draft.

Cooper spent the 2024 NFL season with the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills, to whom he was dealt ahead of the 2024 NFL trade deadline. He played 14 total games and posted a combined 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns, all representing career-worst numbers.

That said, Cooper isn’t far removed from being a 1,000-yard receiver. He totaled a career-best 1,250 receiving yards with the Browns in 2023 and was named to his fifth Pro Bowl that season.

Given that, Cooper – who turns 31 in June – could still have something left in the tank. That could prompt a receiver-needy team to take a chance on him, hoping he can once again be a quality starting receiver.

Which teams could show the most interest in Cooper? Below is a look at the top potential landing spots for the veteran.

Amari Cooper landing spots

Dallas Cowboys

Cooper played for the Cowboys from 2018 through 2021. Could they bring him back? Jerry Jones and Co. may want to consider it after failing to land a receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft. The team doesn’t have a true, No. 2 threat across from CeeDee Lamb, so Cooper could be brought in to challenge young receivers Jonathan Mingo and Jalen Tolbert for playing time.

Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders are another one of Cooper’s former teams that could have an interest in the soon-to-be 31-year-old. Las Vegas has Jakobi Meyers as a strong slot threat and spent a second-round selection on Jack Bech but it could use a veteran to provide depth in a green receiver room.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles have one of the best receiver duos in the NFL in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but the team’s No. 3 wide-out remains a work in progress. Philadelphia traded for Jahan Dotson ahead of the 2024 NFL season but the 2022 first-round pick generated just 19 catches for 216 yards in his first season with the Eagles.

Cooper could challenge Dotson for the No. 3 receiver job while providing depth and experience in Philadelphia’s receiver room. Howie Roseman once took a similar gamble on Julio Jones in the latter stages of his career, so perhaps he will be willing to give Cooper the same chance.

Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals are another team that was expected to add receiver depth in the 2025 NFL Draft but didn’t. The team currently has Michael Wilson, Zay Jones and Greg Dortch to complement Marvin Harrison Jr., so adding Cooper to battle for a starting job could prove beneficial to Kyler Murray.

New England Patriots

The Patriots signed veterans Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins during the offseason. They could also target Cooper, another former Bill, as they try to build up their receiver room around Drake Maye.

With Diggs recovering from a torn ACL, it wouldn’t hurt to add another receiver like Cooper to the team’s depth chart. That would give New England a nice mix of veteran pass catchers to go with its three most recent draft picks at the position: Kyle Williams, Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker.

Washington Commanders

The Commanders may not necessarily need a player like Cooper. They already have a dynamic-looking one-two punch at receiver with Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, a solid veteran No. 3 in Noah Brown and a few recent mid-round draft picks in Luke McCaffrey and rookie Jaylin Lane.

Still, adding Cooper would be a low-risk move to potentially improve Washington’s already strong receiving depth around Jayden Daniels. Adam Peters probably won’t rule out that type of move after having success adding veterans Zach Ertz and Olamide Zaccheaus to the roster last season.

Authorities in Louisiana have charged a second person with second-degree murder in the death of a reporter from Kansas City who was in New Orleans to cover the Super Bowl.

The Kenner Police Department said it obtained an arrest warrant for Rickey White and charged him with Adan Manzano’s death.

White has been in custody at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center since he was arrested at a La Quinta Inn in Hollywood, Florida, on March 14 by U.S. Marshals and the Hollywood Police Department. White was previously charged with simple robbery, access device fraud, illegal transmission of monetary funds, bank fraud and computer fraud.

Danette Colbert was arrested after she was seen on video at the Kenner Comfort Suites hotel with Manzano at around 5 a.m. the day of his death on Feb. 5 and was seen leaving the room alone later in the morning. Authorities charged her with second-degree murder in March.

Manzano died from the combined toxic effects of Xanax and alcohol intoxication, along with positional asphyxia, and the manner of death is still undetermined. He was found face down on a pillow, and his blood alcohol level was .232, almost three times the legal amount in the state of Louisiana.

Manzano’s cellphone and credit card were found during a search of Colbert’s residence in Slidell, and the credit card was used fraudulently at several New Orleans area stores. Colbert also faces a state felony charge of possession of a stolen firearm that was also found during that search, but authorities have said they didn’t think it relates to Manzano’s case.

Authorities said no further comments will be made in the case.
