1. “Generally, evidence of other crimes, wrongs or acts is inadmissible. However, La. C.E. article 404(B)(1) provides that evidence of other crimes may “be admissible ... when it relates to conduct that constitutes an integral part of the act or transaction that is the subject of the present proceeding.” [footnote omitted] Evidence of other crimes is admissible when it is related to and intertwined with the charged offense to such an extent that the State could not have accurately presented its case without reference to it. State v. Parker, 96-1852 (La.App. 4 Cir. 6/18/97) , 696 So.2d 599 , writ denied, 97-1953 (La.1/9/98), 705 So.2d 1097 ; State v. Brewington, 601 So.2d 656 (La.1992).”
