Gator draped over man's shoulders attracts cops' attention in Boutte - NOLA.com

Louisiana Joe (Charlie's Brother) lives in Boutte.....Coincidence??? You be the judge

Gumbo to go.

Cruelty to an alligator? If he was going to eat it then hunting without a license might apply.

I love the ads Google comes up with for our threads. The one at the top of my page offers a Cajun Style Swamp Tour. Bourbon, air boats, and Smith & Wessons? Sounds good to me.

"We don't know what his intentions were," said Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Pat Yoes.

The duct tape and bottle of Gator-lube in his napsack should have been a dead give away.

Anything you can catch with your hands, you should be allowed to hunt/eat.

In my most un-moderator like opinion, that wasn't in Sip's playbook for the critter.

Is this story begining to unfold?

Time to hide and watch.

Excellent, best laugh I had all day. Thanks.

I don't understand why this attracted police attention in the first place, given all the other bizarre behavior in that neck of the woods.

I was reading the OP by Caj and was a little hesitant to click the link, but I did. Thank GOD it wasn't one of my relatives. I've got some crazy coonass cousins, aunts and uncles down that way in Terrebonne, Lafourche, Plaquemines, Assumption, Orleans and the surrounding Parishes. If it had been one of my relatives I don't know what I would have done. That would have raised our standing in the community. We just can't have any of that.

MMMM Gator meat. Kill it & grill it!!! That goes double (maybe triple) for the florida strain of gators.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

When Louisiana Joe bought his first house down there over 30 years ago I really liked it because of the swamp in the backyard. You could go out back and beat on the fence and a few gators would swim up and wait for you to throw them table scraps. Joe then moved to a house with no gators and no swamp. It was OK but the only thing in his backyard was some of his wife's kinfolk. After more than 30 years he is moving again. This place has a lake in the backyard but when a gator appears someone shows up and catches it and takes it away. That probably has something to do with the French Poodle population in the neighborhood. Ya gotta feed em something.

Gators have really made a comeback around here. My neighbor Dr. E (he's not really a doctor) has caught several and puts them in his pond when he finds them. Animal control in the county in which I live usually has something to do with gunpowder. If a gator shows up at someone's house and they don't want to use the gunpowder option they call us. We call a game warden if we can find one. If not we try and catch the gator or use the gunpowder option. It depends on the circumstances...like if it's next to a daycare or something.

That can be more dangerous than gators.

Actually it was Boudreaux's Butt Paste

Blairex Laboratories Inc. Health Care Products and Dietary Supplements
(which BTW is some GOOD stuff for it's purpose-I highly reccomend it )

Ingram, 38, of 158 Boutte Estates Drive, was booked with a variety of charges, including cruelty to animals by abandonment, resisting arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was being held on $15,000 bond.
All ended well for the gator, however. Alligator Control Officer Kenny Schmill said he released it into the marsh near Bayou Gauche.

That's funny!

You only tink dat its bizarre bucuz you don liv dere!

 

[manyguns]

Possession of drug paraphernalia explains most of this.

 

[shouldazagged]

Bayou Gauche? I didn't think there was anything "left" in that part of Louisiana!

I agree that the drug paraphernalia could explain a lot. But not the Gator Lube or Boudreaux's. That's just too weird.
