According to court documents, while Montoucet was secretary of LDWF he steered a contract to a company called DLG1 LLC in exchange for a third of the profit. The other two-thirds was to be divided between Montoucet’s co-conspirators, Dusty Guidry and Leonard Franques. On January 27, 2021, Montoucet caused LDWF to award a no-bid contract to DGL1 to provide online hunter and boater education courses.



Everything that we joke about happening in Louisiana is 100% true.

Think Jack also got a four wheeler from Honda of Lafayette for his efforts.
Should’ve asked for a pioneer.

I wonder what kind of money we’re talking here ? I’m guessing at least $100k to get that much time

Jack wasn’t hurting either unless something changed in the last 20 yrs.
Federal time for peanuts is nuts.

Unlimited, in the long run.

People with violations get to avoid some heavier charges by completing online courses thru their website. They pay a nice size amount to take courses. Franques would run the site, collect them money, and was skimming off the top. Then splitting w head guy.
That's a basic overview, other stuff went on as well, including the 4 wheeler bribe etc.
There's more, including contracts for disaster response, that went amazingly thru another family member, etc...no bid, given by the WF department.

I'm personally close to Franques, and our group scratches their hear daily wondering why a guy who sold 300+ pizza hut locations, felt the need to take this path. I forget the #s though, but a substantial amount of hunting violations go thru the site for classes. The $ would add up
