A few pages back I posted a comment made by a Mandeville native on the FB page called "Concerned Citizens of st Tammany". The comment referred to the alleged mutilation of one of the pets.

I know and trust the man who made the comment and referred to the alleged decapitation of one of the pets. No official confirmation of that and no reference of that has been made by officials. That comment and the entire article that the comment was made on was deleted. I wonder why?

This was very personal and disturbing attack. Basic profiling tell us that 2 hallmarks of a psychopath/sociopath is killing/harming animals and starting fires.

I don't have a whole lot of faith is sheriff smith Even if smith claims that Steve has been cleared and bryan had an ankle monitor then there is still a very dangerous psychopath on the loose. Smith doesn't seem very alarmed by this. Nobody seems to think he is doing a good job in handling this case.

I don't know who does the monitoring of the ankle monitors but remember that Steve and Bryan's dad had a company that dealt in home security and such. I wonder if bryan had some sort of knowledge of ankle monitors that would allow him to tamper with his or knew someone who did.

This murder was not just some random robbery gone wrong. This was a very personal and vicious attack.

I have been busy with other things and haven't heard just why bryan had such anger towards Nan.

I came across something about a "Krentel Family Trust". I wonder if that had anything to do with it or when and what that trust was about.

Also their dad (Herman) died in the past year so perhaps there were issues with inheritance. Bryan has certainly proved himself as being incapable of handling his own life because of his issues with drinking (4 DUIs, I think), drugs, a hit and run, etc.

So I figure someone else was in charge of any money he would have gotten and that probably didn't make him very happy. (There is also a third brother "W" but i havent heard anything at all about him in reference to this case or how he got along with Nanette or his family).

I would imagine that bryan's issues with Nan go back further than the past year but it certainly could have gotten much worse since the death of his dad.

I think it is pretty clear that St Tammany needs to turn this case over to s higher agency like the state or the feds, asap.

Now, Krentel's family says Nanette lived in fear in the weeks leading up to her death. "She had been getting some threats and wasn't feeling safe, didn't want dad to come down to visit," said her sister Kim Watson, "I tried to get her to come here, you know, bring your pets, come visit awhile, just until you feel like you're safe down there. 'Oh, I'm fine as long as I'm in my house.'"

Family members say those threats came from her brother-in-law, Brian Krentel, and included warnings of rape, murder and burning the house down. Nanette's father, Dan Watson, says Brian was angry with Nanette and Fire Chief Steve Krentel over a belief that they contributed to him being sent to prison.

Watson says his daughter became so fearful of her brother-in-law that she refused to go to her mother-in-law's home where he lived, and the stress of the situation caused a strain in the marriage.

Steve Krentel tells Eyewitness News, "After discussing her fears many times, we addressed all concerns to the best of our abilities. That is why she was comfortable at home." Watson says the threats were made through various mediums, including text messages, that have been turned over to authorities.

However, they say they've been told authorities have cleared Brian due to ankle monitor records. The St. Tammany Sheriff's Office announced two weeks ago that it cleared Steve Krentel in the case.


I think that Brian needs to spend a bit more time in prison for the terroristic threats and harassment that he did to Nan in the weeks leading up to her death.

What a total POS. He had 4 DUIs,a hit and run, drug charges, etc and he blamed Nan because he went to prison? His worthless arse just need to go back to prison and not just to St Tammany's lil parish prison.

Here are some of the things he has been up to in his life.

not sure why. maybe family money and connections.

LINK

"A fourth-offense DWI charge or “subsequent fourth offense” DWI is considered a felony, with the following penalties:

A fine of $5,000.
A prison sentence of a minimum of ten years to a maximum of 30 years imprisonment.
40 days of community service.
Two years of the sentence must be served without suspension or parole."

So the minimum sentence of ten years can actually be suspended and the dude can be out in two. Since B is reported to be on an ankle bracelet the parish is making money off of him being on parole instead of spending money to jail him.

Kinda off topic but St Tammany is interesting that way. They call it St Slammany for a reason because it is easy to get arrested there. I know someone who got busted with over 50 pot plants, about 2 dozen guns, an elaborate growing system. thousands in cash, $10,000 in packed product and only got 3 years and was out on parole in less than a year.

Even when he was put in the parish jail they immediately put him in the halfway house where he had a good amount of freedom to get jobs and was out in the community and access full contact visitors, little supervision and people could also bring them any kind of food. No hard time there.

I guess the catch is you have to have lots of money, family connections, a good lawyer and the ability to pay restitution and fines. it's all about the money. They also confiscated and kept his truck, his bank account, even money his parents gave him weeks after arrest to pay his house note.

But my friend had no prior history for anything and is completely on the up and up since his bust. he even quit smoking cigarettes (and he never did any other drugs at all).

St Tam makes a LOT of money from parolees who have to pay fines, restitution and all kinds of "fees" like the indigent fund fee, court fees, supervision fees and lots of little BS fees every month. They really pack on the fees and it adds up to a tidy sum.

Hmm, it has not even been 2 years since his last DUI so he should be serving time. Wonder if he just has been able to keep postponing his court date and hasnt been sentenced yet or if he somehow got the charges dropped or reduced.

Interesting comment on the Justice for Nanette Facebook page:

"Nanette believed Bryan's ankle monitor was GPS, but upon inspecting the available public records, there is no indication that her brother-in-law was in fact on house arrest. His monitor may have strictly been an alcohol monitor. All we know is what Nan believed and what she told us. It appears she may have believed this based upon representations made by her husband and his family."

Can anyone direct me as to how I can learn more about the use of ankle monitors in St. Tammany Parish?

Here is how it works, apparently. He got his 5th (yes, his 5th) DUI but they let his first 2 DUIs "go off of his record" - meaning that they dropped his first two duis off the record as they were 10 years before.

Then his charges are bumped down to be charged to be a "3rd" DUI rather than a 4th or 5th

But notice below how he got THREE DUI 2s (2002,2007, 2014)

But then again, hmmm LINK
DWI Cleansing Period

"There is a cleansing period” of ten years, after which a prior DWI conviction or plea in any state, including Louisiana, cannot be used against a person charged with DWI, for enhancement of charges. However, in 2008 the law was amended to extend that ten-year period by excluding all time spent between date of arrest and time spent on probation, which can extend the time period to use prior arrests for many years longer than ten years. Note that it does not matter in which state the charged person incurred the prior DWI."

Bottom line Facts

Pre-1998 - DUI 1

1999 - Hit and run, careless operation

11-7-2002- ANOTHER Hit and run, reckless operation (Fun fact - often a DUI is pleaded down to reckless operation and that is known as a "wet reckless" LINK

11-10-02 DUI2, careless operation

2007- DUI 2, hits and run, neg injury with vehicle, Poss of marijuana,

2014 - Possession of alcohol in motor vehicle, tampering with interlock system (hmm, wonder of he tampers with court ordered bracelets too?)

2016 - DUI 3, Operating vehicle with a license under suspension, Poss of MJ, possession of paraphernalia

(I kindly omitted his other offenses that were not DUI. But I included something that could have been a DUI but he got lesser charges.)

Ole B is a busy lil boys racking up a few battery charges (including one against a cop), a felony unauthorized unauthorized entry,some disturbing peace,some drug possession, public intox, etc)

I am looking into the ankle monitor myself.

But seeing as how he tampered with an interlock system ( the device that wont let you start a car with alcohol on your breath) I imagine he would mess with an ankle monitor.

He was obviously a drunk so it sounds much more likely his ankle monitor was one that detects hints of alcohol through the skin and not the gps types that they would usually reserve for the more violent offenders.

The alcohol monitors don't have gps on them from my experience and they are often given to drunks with dwis

Thanks, SuperSaint and Gingerkittie, for weighing in about the ankle monitor. If indeed BK's was an alcohol monitor, I wonder why LE aren't looking more closely at him. (I hope they are and are just being tight lipped.)

Interesting video on the Justice for Nanette FB page. It’s by a guy named Couvillion, 6 mins long. He speaks mostly about corruption within the STPD but at the very end, he mentions that he heard that there is something scheduled for tomorrow afternoon related to FD 12 and Steven Krentel. An announcement maybe?

Meh, that's guys a sycophant to the prior power structure that's been voted out, convicted or resigned with threat of conviction looming. I mean, not saying the substance is false but the sound is suspect.
