Two suspects' home burglarized while they're in jail

Two women fighting Saturday night for an as-yet-undetermined reason led the husband of one to allegedly fire a shot into the air trying to break it up, which it did. It also prompted a complaint to police.
And the couples weekend got worse on Sunday.
Officers responding the mayhem at Corn and Benoit streets about 7:30 found some parties to the affair still on the scene and some split.
Upon arriving at the scene officers learned that Sydney Ben, 17, and Stephanie Crush-Kenna, 31, were involved in a fight.
During the fight Ben allegedly struck Crush-Keena in the head with a beer bottle. Brandon Keena,30, husband of Stephanie, then allegedly fired a shot into the air from a semi-automatic handgun and Ben then left the area, before officers arrived.
Officers then entered the Keena residence and located the Glock .40-caliber pistol used to fire the shot as well as a sawed-off .12 gauge shotgun.
While inside the residence officers allegedly located, all in alleged plain view, marijuana, smoking pipes, and evidence of the Kenna’s smoking marijuana just before officers arrived. The couple was then taken into custody.
Officers then attempted to locate Been. Upon coming into contact with her sister Iobie Levier, 26, sister of Ben, officers placed her under arrest for obstruction of justice for lying about Ben’s location.
Levier was also allegedly in possession of a bag of marijuana. Moments later Ben was located and arrested.
Two custodial agreements for juveniles were also reached in the case.
The suspects and charges:
Brandon Keena, 401 Corn, ($19,500 bond), Illegal Use of weapons, Possession of a firearm in the presence of CDS, Illegal Use of CDS in the presence of persons under 17 years of age, Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, Possession of drug paraphernalia, Possession of marijuana
Stephanie Crush-Keena, 401 Corn, La ($11,000 bond), Simple Battery, Disturbing the peace by fighting, Illegal Use of CDS in the presence of persons under 17 years of age, Possession of drug paraphernalia, Possession of marijuana, Introduction of contraband into a penal facility
Ben, 430 Cotton, ($8,000 bond), Aggravated battery, Disturbing the peace by fighting
Levier, 430 Cotton, ($3,500 bond), Obstruction of justice, Possession of marijuana.
The Keena couple’s bad Saturday turned into a just-as-bad Sunday while they were in jail.
Records indicate that the woman caring for their children arrived at the Corn Street house shortly before 11 a.m. Sunday to find a window broken.
She reported to police that a TV and a X-Box video console had been stolen from the house while no one was there.
