re: Some Interesting Louisiana Police History

My dad is a retired LSP Trooper. He quit around 86. He was undercover narc for years, deep cover stuff, had to receive quite a bit of training at Quantico. He drove a motorcycle, had long hippy hair, attitude, the whole 9. He has a shadow box with his fake ids, pics and a .357. This was the 70s. He was good too, but saw his share of trouble. His partner took a bullet right in front of him as they raided a drug house in Lafayette. Died on the spot.

He has A LOT of stories. He did tell my sister that he slept with over a 100 womenz while he was a cop, so I guess that made him a shitty husband to my mom.

Oddly enough it was after he became an insurance agent that he faced his biggest challenge....

we moved to a town in south Louisiana for 1 year in the late 80s. One night, late leaving the office, a man in a ski mask with a thick coonass accent approached my dad and put a gun on the back of his neck and told him to get in his car and instructed him to drive down some country gravel roads. He Kept telling dad he was gonna blow his head off. So, my dad, wanting to keep his head in tact, jumped out of the car going 55 mph. The car crashed into a ditch, and my dad was able to escape with minor injuries. He went into a grocery store close by and called the cops.

To this day he doesn't know why that happened... my money is on a jealous husband but who the hell knows.

The coonass in the ski mask disappeared into a field and was never found.
