Sheriff’s deputies in St. Charles Parish arrested seven people after a video surfaced on MySpace that had two young men discussing plans to carry out a shooting, and also to shoot any police officers who tried to stop them.

Investigators were searching for information on another case when they came upon 18-year-old Larry Banks' MySpace page. There, deputies said they found a video in which Banks and 27-year-old Joshua Reilly brandish assault rifles, including an AK-47 that Banks said “had bodies on it.”

Deputies then acquired a warrant to search Banks’ home, where they found other weapons including another AK-47. The AK-47 that is showed in the video, however, was not found.

At the home they arrested five other people on drugs and weapons charges.

Sheriff Greg Champagne says deputies investigating the video and the suspects pictured in it have linked the men to several crimes, including criminal conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, narcotics violations, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, possession of stolen firearms, and possession of a weapon by convicted felons.

Champagne said it’s a good lesson for parents everywhere.

“Parents need to be aware of what’s being put on [MySpace],” Champagne said. “It’s not just kids talking about their boyfriends and their schoolwork, it’s more troubling things such as what you see in this video.”
