re: Former Lafayette Mayor Josh Guillory arrested

Smoking that crack.

Fricken swamp rats fighting over a dirt pile.

The piece of land on the St. Martin side was owned by three brothers. If I recall correctly, Lafayette purchased that land from two of the brothers. Not sure what was the story with the third brother.

So kind of technically, the land was now owned by Lafayette. If that is accurate then the only issue would be that the work was done without permits or state approval.

Kind of.

Let’s say ownership between the brothers was equal. So Lafayette then owed 2/3 undivided interest in the land. Co-tenants who have rights to fully enjoy the use of their property, but to what extent would that use encroach on other owners’ enjoyment of that same property?

But if all that is true, why do it in the dark of night?

Yeah…that’s the part that doesn’t seem to pass the smell test. Do you believe you were fully in your rights or not?

When a creek, river, bayou, etc. is dredged out, the dirt (spoil) is usually stacked up on the bank. This body of water was the boarder between two parishes, or counties to non-residents. One parish stacked the spoils up on their side of the river to make an unoffical levee, blocking river water from runnning up on their banks, but this lead to flooding on the the other parish across the river. The flooded parish president got his drainage district to go knock down the spoil bank so that it lessens the flooding on his parish, and the other parish took him to court over it. This is something the state or Corps of Engineers needs to settle, not each parish fighting each other in court. He got arrested by the other parish because they said he didn't have the authority to go knock down their spoil banks, and they're probably right. However, the other parish doesn't have the right to flood and damage other people's property either. It's a Louisiana political feud that's been going on a few years now.

Why arrest him though? Why not take him to Civil Court and sue him and Lafayette Parish?

sounds like a personal grudge match type of thing, inflict the most pain and embarrassment as possible

Because St Martin’s ego and feelings got hurt and they are trying to drag him through the mud. I don’t have a dog in this fight from the outside St Martin looks pathetic to pull this crap.
