He put down his anchor and circled the other shrimper's boat, causing the anchor to hook the boat’s nets and lines, the Sheriff's Office said. He dragged the boat, damaging is and causing it to take on water.

Russell was arrested and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Jail for aggravated criminal damage to property.
