Man pleads guilty to driving drunk on lawnmower By Dan Copp, Houma Today Staff Writer

GOP fight over leadership after Nov. vote to be messy By LISA MASCARO, AP Congressional Correspondent

WASHINGTON (AP) — Win or lose in the race for the majority, House Republicans are at risk of plunging into a messy leadership battle after the November election, with the party lacking a clear heir apparent to take the place of House Speaker Paul Ryan. President Donald Trump has signaled he’d be happy with next-in-line Kevin McCarthy, the majority leader, a longtime ally whom the president calls “My Kevin.” But Trump is also saying kind words about the No. 3 Republican, GOP Whip Steve Scalise, whom he calls the “legend from Louisiana.” Scalise survived life-threatening injuries after he was shot at a congressional baseball practice in 2017. And there’s a third lawmaker in the mix: conservative Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who

is waging a longshot bid to take the gavel. Trump appeared with Jordan at an Ohio rally in the summer and beamed when the crowd started chanting, “Speaker of the House!” “There’s going to be a contest, for sure,” said GOP Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, a veteran of leadership battles who said he’s never seen anything like the “high drama” that’s about to unfold. “Usually the election settles all the issues. This one won’t.” Polls are seesawing in the final weeks before the election, creating suspense about whether Democrats will regain control of the House for the first time since 2010. Yet it’s almost certain that the often-unruly House GOP contingent will be smaller next year. Republicans hope to hold the majority, but fully expect to lose some seats.

A 59-year-old Lafourche Parish man contesting a DWI charge he received while riding a lawnmower has decided to plead guilty, his lawyer said. The plea comes after a Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal ruling of a similar case in Terrebonne Parish. B r i a n Cheramie, of Cut Off, was charged with his second DWI about 12:15 Cheramie a.m. May 19 after deputies saw him swerve into the westbound lane of traffic and travel back to the shoulder while riding a lawnmower on La. 3162, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office said. See Cheramie Page 10-A

Lafourche DA urges community to use Galliano office

Lafourche Parish District Attorney Kristine Russell would like to remind the community about the services available at the Galliano Office, 16241 E. Main St., Cut Off. “A 97 mile long parish makes a trip to the north end very burdensome for some of our residents,” Russell said. “We hope that by having our Galliano Office it will alleviate some of that burden for our residents, and help us better serve all of Lafourche Parish.” Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. is for child support only for residents to:

Wall of Fame recognition long overdue By Larry D. Weidel Contributing Writer

South Lafourche High School has a Wall of Fame that that has two plaques on it … Ronnie “Crockett” Estay and Ed “Bebe” Orgeron. Forty-six years ago “Crockett” was honored with a “day” in his honor for his outstanding accomplishments in football in high school, college, and the pros. His image and long list of awards is displayed on a bronze plaque at the school. Last year, LSU Head Coach Ed “Bebe” Orgeron was honored to have a bronze plaque with his image and accomplishments placed on the SLHS Wall of Fame.

Both of these men have brought a lot of positive attention for the south Lafourche community by achieving great acclaim and success on the gridiron. This past week a third person was selected to join “Crockett” and “Bebe” on the prestigious Wall of Fame. Bobby J. Hebert now has a bronze plaque with his image and accomplishments for the Wall. Members of the Coach “O” Committee who held a banquet to honor Coach Bebe Orgeron last year decided it was time to recognize Bobby, the “Cajun Cannon”, for his impressive achievements on the football field. The list of accomplishments is long and impressive. See Hebert Page 9-A

GOP From 1-A

The election is likely to produce a more conservative, pro-Trump Republican lineup in the House, as most of the GOP incumbents at risk of losing hail from moderate-leaning districts and suburbs. Their defeat would probably concentrate more power in the hands of the House Freedom Caucus and its libertarian-leaning allies in rural, traditionally Republican states who doubt McCarthy’s conservative bona fides. Those lawmakers blocked the Californian’s rise when he first reached for the speaker’s gavel three years ago. Conservatives say the House majority is at risk in large part because Republicans didn’t stand fully behind Trump. They fault their own side for failing to repeal “Obamacare,” build a wall along the border with Mexico and keep other campaign promises. If there’s a GOP wipeout on Election Day, Republicans will probably be eager to boot the current GOP leadership, which could give rise to Scalise or even Jordan’s unorthodox bid. In public, none of the leaders-in-waiting likes to talk about the struggle to come. Their goal, they say, is to keep the House majority. But behind the scenes all three are all dialing up colleagues and racing around the country spending their time — and campaign cash — to salvage the GOP’s hold on the House. “It’s going to be close, but I still think we keep the majority,” McCarthy told The Associated Press on Wednesday in between campaign stops. McCarthy, who is traveling to a dozen states for two dozen law-

makers in October and shoveled $24 million in donations to candidates and campaign committees, convened an allhands-on-deck conference call, urging colleagues to put campaign money into a team effort to protect the majority. The upbeat mood after that call Wednesday was a turnaround from the gloom of a few weeks ago when polls indicated Democrats were favored to take over the House, with even safe seats in Trump-won districts in Pennsylvania and Iowa at risk. Republicans are sensing an uptick, thanks to Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, and a newly energized electorate awakened to the stakes of the midterm. As McCarthy puts it, “This is an election about jobs versus the mobs.” Scalise technically isn’t even running for a promotion — officially, he backs McCarthy for speaker — but he’s indicated he would be available to step in if McCarthy falls short. While boarding a plane after campaigning in Michigan, Scalise said that while the GOP ranks may be smaller and tighter after the election, the outcome “brings everybody closer.” He was dashing off to support the GOP candidate in an open seat in South Carolina. Rather than embolden challenges to the leadership, the election could knit the House GOP closer together behind Trump’s agenda, he said. “Everybody needs to be all in,” Scalise told AP. “We’re not fighting to keep this majority to be at odds with each other. We want to get some things done.” As the majority whip these past few years, he said, “my job has been to build those coalitions.” Perhaps most unusual has been Jordan’s longshot bid. Taking a page from Trump’s playbook, Jordan has eschewed the normal path, opting for an outside campaign that’s drumming up support from conservative groups and media-friendly allies.

Jordan is a regular on Fox News, pushing the House GOP’s investigation of the Justice Department’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Alongside Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., the chairman of the Freedom Caucus who is also campaigning for colleagues, he is positioning the group for influence in the House. None of the top three is without baggage. Jordan faces accusations that he didn’t do enough as a young assistant Ohio State University wrestling coach to halt alleged sexual misconduct by the team doctor. Jordan forcefully denies those accusations. Scalise has had to answer questions about his appearance years ago before a community group with ties to former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. To be sure, Democrats have their own struggles. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi wants to return as speaker if Democrats win a House majority; many in her party want new leadership. Republicans have been here before, in a chaotic period after conservatives forced John Boehner into early retirement in 2015, then denied McCarthy the votes to move into the top spot. Ryan was recruited to fill the leadership vacuum. To shore up his conservative flank, McCarthy has pivoted closer to conservatives and is championing their issues, including legislation to pay for Trump’s $25 billion border wall. If Republicans retain the GOP majority, Cole said he would be hard pressed to see Republicans walking away from McCarthy after all he’s doing to keep the party in power. But if Republicans lose big, especially in the late-breaking California

races, McCarthy’s clout could diminish. The population of suburban Orange County, a longtime GOP stronghold, is shifting like the rest of the state. “They said it was impossible for the House Freedom Caucus to oust Boehner,” said Noah Wall, a vice president at FreedomWorks, the conservative advocacy group that is rallying for Jordan. “We don’t claim there’s anything but a longshot, but we see several paths.” Follow on Twitter at https://twitter.com/lisamascaro

Trojans, Tarpons both lose tough road games Gazette Sports Reports

David almost slayed Goliath at Tom B. Smith Stadium on Friday night. But at the end of the day, the mighty Terrebonne High School Tigers made one, last play, which enabled them to narrowly escape the onslaught from underdog Central Lafourche. The Tigers beat the Trojans 25-17 on Friday night, improving to 8-0 on the season, while the Trojans dropped to 5-3. The game was close throughout a surprising defensive struggle given that both teams have explosive offenses. The Trojans had a chance to possibly tie the game late, marching deep into Terrebonne territory. But a last-second gasp fell short when quarterback Jacob Barker was pressured and rushed a pass into the Terrebonne defense for an interception, thus ending the game. Coach Keith Menard said winning is always better than losing, but added that his Trojans competed like heck on Friday and have nothing to be ashamed of. “You want to end up on the other end of it, but that’s the way we have to play,” Menard said. “Our kids played their tails off and we competed and executed well on both sides of the ball. We made some mistakes, but Terrebonne was a big part of that, too. They’re a great team and their coaches do an outstanding job. For us, we loved the effort and the energy. We have to play at that level the rest of the season to get where we’d like to go.” The game was a war. The Trojans led 1713 at the half, controlling play at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball to secure the lead. Central Lafourche led 7-0 on a short touchdown run by halfback Deon Jenkins, a lead which held until the end of the first quarter. The Tigers answered with a touchdown run to make it 7-6 early in the second quarter, but the Trojans blocked the extra point. They then went up 14-6 when Barker hit Peyton Loredo to go up 14-6 just before half.

The final minutes of the first half were dramatic. The Tigers answered Central Lafourche’s score with one of their own, a quick, 93-yard drive capped with an 8-yard touchdown run from Chaz Ward to cut the lead to 14-13. But just before half, the Trojans went into their 2-minute offense and found success, hitting a short field goal to take the 17-13 halftime lead. In the second half, Terrebonne took over, striking first to take the lead on another touchdown run from Ward to go up 19-17 after a missed extra point. That lead held until late in the game when the Trojans went for it deep in their own territory and were unsuccessful, which set up Terrebonne on a short field and an easy score. But the Tigers again missed the extra point, which made the score 2517, giving the Trojans a chance to tie with just 1:16 left. They nearly did. The Trojans marched all the way down the field to the Terrebonne 14yard-line. But on their last offensive play from scrimmage, Barker dropped back to pass and was rushed. Being hit as he threw the ball, Terrebonne defender Cullen Butler cut the ball off and picked it off, ending the game. Menard said it was a tough loss, but a great night for high school football. “What an outstanding game,” Menard said. “We came up short, but that was one the fans definitely remembered and will enjoy.” Tarpons fall in wild, crazy game

Tarpons to 2-6 on the season. South Lafourche outgained the Cardinals in the game, but penalties and mental mistakes cost the Tarpons throughout the game. Coach Blake Forsythe said he was proud of the teams effort and energy, touting that his youthful team is starting to grow up as the season winds down. “We were physical,” Forsythe said. “That’s a sore E.D. White football team right now because we battled them up front and matched them blowfor-blow. I’m proud of our effort. We didn’t win, but our kids left it on the field. We’re getting better and making strides. We just want to try and win these last two games and get into the playoffs.” The Tarpons’ triple option offense is starting to gain traction. South Lafourche scored first on a 99-yard drive that was almost all powered by the legs of Brock Bailleaux. The senior had a 62yard run on the drive and a 10-yard touchdown, which put the Tarpons in front 7-0 early. E.D. White tied the game at 7-all midway through the second quarter on an 80-yard run from Hunter Becnel, a score which held until halftime. The second half was not always well-played, nor well-officiated. The Tarpons recovered an onsides kick on the first snap of the half, then couldn’t convert. That led to a long touchdown from Cardinals quarterback Brandon Legendre to Peyton Amedee, which put the Cardinals up 14-7. South Lafourche answered the score with two-straight touchdowns, one by Aaron Vestal and another by Bailleaux to go up 19-14 going into the fourth quarter. But the Cardinals had an answer. Legendre struck on a 7-yard touchdown run to go up 21-19. Then after an empty Tarpon possession, a flagfest ensued and E.D.

White went down the field again for the dagger on a drive aided by several penalties on both sides. In the second half, the timekeeper also ran more than 90 seconds off the clock during a dead ball period, time the Tarpons wished they had back late as they were chasing a comeback. “I’m disappointed in the entire officiating crew,” Forsythe said. “I thought they did a poor job throughout the game. Their communication was poor or non-existent. And I don’t think anyone in the crew had a good handle on the game.” The Tarpons will take on South Terrebonne on Friday. To make the playoffs, the Tarpons must beat both the Gators and East St. John in the final two weeks of the year.

Brees makes exclusive 500 club, beats Ravens for first time By David Ginsburg, AP Sports Writer

BALTIMORE (AP) — So, Drew Brees finally beat the Baltimore Ravens. Years from now, the remarkable New Orleans quarterback will hopefully recall the comeback he engineered and 500th career touchdown pass — and not the unusual fashion in which the Saints won the game. By virtue of the first missed conversion in Justin Tucker’s sevenyear career, the Saints pulled out a 24-23 victory Sunday. The Ravens were the only team Brees had never beaten. Granted, the teams meet only once every four years, but that was enough to saddle him with an 0-4 lifetime record against Baltimore. Now it’s 1-4 after Brees helped New Orleans put up 17 fourthquarter points against a defense that had not allowed a touchdown in the second half this season. Because the Saints prevailed, Brees joined Brett Favre and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks to beat every team in the league. “They’ve had some tremendous defensive teams in the past,” Brees said of Baltimore. “Guys like Ray Lewis, Ed Reed,

Adalius Thomas, Peter Boulware and Haloti Ngata.” This unit has Terrell Suggs, Eric Weddle, C.J. Mosley and plenty other stars. Brees, however, was up for the challenge. He went 22 for 30 for 212 yards, increasing his NFL record in passing yardage to 72,315. The 39-year-old also threw two touchdown passes, the first of which was the 500th of his career, a 1yarder to Ben Watson in the second quarter. The only other members of the 500 club are Favre, Manning and Tom Brady. Period. See Brees Page 7-A

Brees From 5-A

“One of the greatest things about the 500th touchdown pass, it was caught by one of my favorite teammates of all time,” Brees said. “I couldn’t think of better guy to catch this touchdown than Ben Watson. He is a terrific veteran, and I look up to him.” Said Watson: “Anything I can do to further his records, the happier I am. I was thrilled to catch the 500th touchdown pass.” Incredibly, Brees insisted that Watson take the souvenir. “This is the kind of guy Drew Brees is: He wanted me to keep the ball,” Watson said. “I said, ‘I am not keeping this.’ So he did take it.” Coming off a game in Tennessee in which the Ravens recorded 11 sacks, the league’s topranked defense had its hands full with Brees.

“You have to tip your cap to the best ever,” Weddle said. “We had him wrapped up, and he was just finding a way to make a play.” The Ravens lost, but Weddle took great pleasure in matching wits with Brees for the better part of three hours. “These are the games you live for,” Weddle said. “Drew Brees is one of the best ever to play the game. We presented some challenges. We played well at times, and he made incredible plays to continue drives.” That’s what Brees does, far better than most. “Drew is absolutely unbelievable,” Saints guard Larry Warford said. “One of the greatest competitors in the game. He never gives up. It’s a blessing to have him leading the team.” For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL

Defense leads No. 5 LSU past No. 22 MSU By Brett Martel, AP Sports Writer

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Boos rained down from the Tiger Stadium stands, even as quarterback Joe Burrow kneeled to close out No. 5 LSU’s latest convincing victory over a ranked opponent. It was an unusual scene spawned by an unfortunate play that could carry considerable implications going forward. Michael Divinity Jr.’s interception set up Nick Brossette’s short touchdown run, Cole Tracy kicked four field goals, and LSU beat No. 22 Mississippi State 19-3 on Saturday night. But the Death Valley crowd left angry after LSU’s top linebacker, Devin White, was ejected for targeting in the fourth quarter, meaning he will not be eligible to play in the first half of the Tigers’ upcoming showdown with unbeaten and top-ranked Alabama. “As a defense, it is really tough knowing he is going to be out the first half against Alabama,” defensive back Kristian Fulton said. White appeared to lower his head as he leveled quarterback Nick Fitzgerald a moment after he released a pass that was intercepted by Fulton. “I’ve got to look at it. The call is the call. They reviewed it,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron said. “That’s the rule. The rule is you can’t lead with your head.”

The targeting penalty wiped out the turnover, and LSU’s celebrations after the whistle also drew two flags for unsportsmanlike conduct, resulting in 45 yards in penalties on one play. Safety John Battle’s interception prevented Mississippi State from scoring on the drive and virtually sealed the result. But fans continued booing officials until the end, keenly aware of how much the absence of White, even for just a half, could hurt the Tigers (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) against the Crimson Tide’s dynamic and prolific offense. White’s penalty was the low-point of an otherwise banner performance by the Tigers’ defense, which intercepted Fitzgerald four times. LSU safety Grant Delpit came through with several drive-stalling plays, including two interceptions and a fourthdown sack. Delpit has five interceptions and four sacks this season. “He made a difference in the ball game when needed him and it looks like it comes easy to him,” Orgeron said. “He’s a great football player.” Fitzgerald rushed for 131 yards for Mississippi State (4-3, 1-3), but completed just 8 of 24 passes for 59 yards. “We’ve got to find a way to be productive in the passing game and we did not get that done,” Mississippi State coach Joe Moorhead said. “I’m in charge of the offense. ... I’m disappointed.” Mississippi State’s defense, led by end Montez Sweat and tackle Jeffery Simmons, gave LSU’s offense fits for much of the game. LSU needed to run three plays to score the game’s lone TD after Divinity’s 31-yard return to the 3. “The one touchdown

Wednesday, October 24, 2018 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

they got was off a short field, so the defense was playing great,” Moorhead said. THE TAKEAWAY Mississippi State: The Bulldogs’ inability to pass against LSU’s talented secondary made it tough for them to sustain drives. Although their running game was productive at times finishing with 201 yards, the Bulldogs often looked hopeless on third down, converting two of 14. LSU: The Tiger’s defense was strong enough against the run to contain Fitzgerald and made the Bulldogs QB uncomfortable when he threw. Offensively, the Tigers needed almost the entire first half to figure out how to move the ball against the Bulldogs. They still struggled to find the end zone in the second half, but executed consistently enough to give their reliable kicker four field goal opportunities from 40 yards and in. “It wasn’t a perfect game,” Orgeron said. “I’m not going to tear this thing apart. This is a good football team we just beat.”

7-A

POLL IMPLICATIONS LSU should move up at least one spot in the AP Top 25 Poll because of No. 2 Ohio State’s 49-20 loss to Purdue . SELF-BLAME Burrow blamed himself for the Tigers’ 15 yards of offense before they drove 64 yards for a field goal that made it 103 at halftime. “That was the worst half of football I’ve ever played in my entire life,” said Burrow, who finished 16-of-28 passing for 129 yards and was intercepted in the end zone by Louisiana native Cameron Dantzler in the first quarter, squandering a scoring chance set up by Delpit’s diving interception. “I just threw the ball like a middle schooler, but they’re a really good defense, too.” UP NEXT Mississippi State hosts Texas A&M on Saturday. LSU has a week off before hosting Alabama on Nov. 3.

BP starts expansion to Thunder Horse deep-water Gulf field

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Energy giant BP says it’s added the equivalent of 30,000 barrels of oil a day to production at its largest Gulf of Mexico platform, called Thunder Horse. A news release Thursday from Houston-based BP United States says that brings the field’s gross output to more than 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day. The field is about 150 miles (240 kilometers) southeast of New Orleans, in more than 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) of water. BP says the expansion started four months ahead of schedule and 15 percent under budget. The company did not give the cost of adding a new subsea manifold and two wells tied into existing lines. BP operates the platform and has a 75 percent working interest in it. ExxonMobil holds the other 25 percent. ____

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana’s lawmakers have traveled the country to meet with colleagues and attend conferences since their legislative sessions ended, trips that have cost taxpayers nearly $120,000. Twenty-four of 105 House members and 17 of 39 senators attended events in a dozen states, including Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida and Nevada. Lawmakers went to gatherings of the Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C.; the Southern States Energy Board in Biloxi, Mississippi; the National Conference of Insurance Legislators in Salt Lake City, Utah; the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in Boston; and the Council of State Governments in Kentucky, among others. Data provided to The Associated Press by the Legislature showed the trips cost the House nearly $58,000 and the Senate just under $60,000 for expenses like airfare, hotel rooms, taxi fare, meals, registration fees, parking charges and the daily per diem paid to lawmakers for attending work-related meetings. The most popular events to attend for Louisiana’s lawmakers were the annual gatherings of the Southern Legislative Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, and the National Conference of State Legislatures in Los Angeles. That California trip was also among the most expensive for lawmakers, because of the crosscountry travel. ____

Sheriff: Man found with wife’s body in trunk, kids in car

LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) — Authorities say a soldier based in Louisiana was arrested in a car with his wife’s body in the trunk, their two toddlers in the car, and his girlfriend driving. A Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office statement says 22-year-old Logan Kyle was turned over to Army investigators at Fort Polk; 24-year-old Sarah Parker of Lake Charles was arrested on charges including failure to report a homicide; and the 1- and 2-year-old children are in state custody. Fort Polk spokeswoman Kim Reichsling says Kyle is in custody. She says she cannot release his wife’s name until Tuesday because Army regulations require a 24-hour wait after notifying next-of-kin. The sheriff’s office says deputies got a tip about a woman with a dead body in her trunk and stopped Parker’s car Sunday night.

Louisiana Supreme Court denies appeal by death row prisoner

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana’s Supreme Court has denied an appeal from a man sentenced to death for the slaying of 4-year-old girl in 2001. The American Press in a Friday report quotes the court as saying 43-year-old Jason Manuel Reeves had claimed his attorneys provided ineffective counsel during the

Ribbon and Monetary Awards

penalty phase of his trial. But the court said he was trying “to re-litigate an issue upon which he has already sought review.” The court says it’s not clear that his lawyers failed to present evidence about his troubled upbringing because Reeves himself didn’t disclose evidence to help explain his difficult childhood and the history of sexual abuse he suffered. Reeves has been on death row since 2004 for the abduction, rape and killing of Mary Jean Thigpen from Moss Bluff.

Announcements from the pulpit

The minister of a city church enjoyed a drink now and then, but his passion was for peach brandy. One of his congregants would make him a bottle each Christmas. One year, when the minister went to visit his friend, hoping for his usual Christmas present, he was not disappointed, but his friend told him that he had to thank him for the peach brandy from the pulpit the next Sunday. In his haste to get the

9-A

bottle, the minister hurriedly agreed and left. So the next Sunday the minister suddenly remembered that he had to make a public announcement that he was being supplied alcohol from a member of the church. That morning, his friend sat in the church with a grin on his face, waiting to see the minister’s embarrassment. The minister climbed into the pulpit and said, “Before we begin, I have an announcement. I would very much like to thank my friend, Joe, for his kind gift of peaches ... and for the spirit in which they were given!”

Cheramie

From 1-A

After performing poorly on the field sobriety and breath tests, Cheramie was transported to the Lafourche Parish jail, where he was released after posting a $2,800 bond on May 25. Lafourche’s Chief Public Defender Mark Plaisance asked the court to toss out his client’s DWI, arguing a lawnmower wasn’t clearly defined by law as a motor vehicle. The law defines a DWI as “the operating of any motor vehicle, aircraft, watercraft, vessel or other means of conveyance” while the operator is under the influence. However, the statute never clearly defines what those are, Plaisance said. “The statute does not define motor vehicle, nor does it define aircraft, watercraft, vessel and especially ‘other means of conveyance’ ” Plaisance said. “Logic dictates a lawnmower is generally understood not to be an aircraft, watercraft or vessel. Thus, the question is whether a lawnmower is either a motor vehicle or ‘other means of conveyance.’” After the appellate court reinstated DWI charges for a Montegut man accused of driving drunk on a riding lawnmower last year, Cheramie decided to plead guilty to his own charges, court records show. However, the First Circuit’s ruling had no bearing on Cheramie’s decision, Plaisance said. “It was in the best in-

terest for my client,” Plaisance said. “The state and I were able to work out a reasonable fine and programs he had to attend. He just wanted to put it behind him. It had nothing to do with the First Circuit. My client just wanted to own up to what he did and get on with his life.” As a result of his plea, Cheramie was ordered to pay a fine, attend a DWI class, complete 240 hours of community service and was given probation. In its Sept. 24 ruling, the appellate court contended that a lawnmower could be used as a motor vehicle. “The words ‘motor vehicle,’ ‘aircraft’ and ‘vessel’ refer to inanimate objects of which the operation and control is dependent on the actions of the driver,” the court wrote. “The Traffic Code, itself entitled ‘Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulation,’ provides a definition for ‘motor vehicle’ as well as ‘vehicle.’ ‘Motor vehicle,’ in pertinent part, means every vehicle which is self-propelled. ‘Vehicle,’ in pertinent part, means every device by which persons or things may be transported upon a public highway or bridge, except devices moved by human power or used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks. “Considering the plain words of the statute and consistent with the legislative history, we find that the legislature intended to protect the public from the type of actions alleged in this case,” the court contin-

ued. “The legislative history implies a legislative concern to regulate the use and operation of any motor vehicle or other means of conveyance and to safeguard the people of this sate from injury or death caused by drivers who operate their selfpropelled vehicles while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or narcotic drugs.” Plaisance foresees the issue going before the state Supreme Court. “I think it might lead to some consequences because the First Cir-

cuit’s opinion seemed to indicate that a lawnmower was a motor vehicle,” Plaisance said. “So if it is a motor vehicle, does it qualify as a motor vehicle under the theft of a motor vehicle statute? When we think of a theft of a motor vehicle, someone takes a car. I think the Supreme Court will look at the case. I think we had a very good argument despite the First Circuit’s opinion.”

UPDATE: Two suspects now sought for shoplifting over $5k in merchandise

A second suspect is now being sought in a department store theft which occurred earlier this month in which over $5,000 in merchandise was stolen. Detectives are now seeking a female and a male suspect in the case, and a reward is being offered for information leading to any arrests. Shortly after 1:30 p.m. on October 8, 2018, deputies responded to a theft complaint at the Walmart Supercenter located at 16759 Highway 3235 in Cut Off. Upon reviewing surveillance footage, deputies learned that on October 6, a woman had attempted to pay for over $5,000 of merchandise and a $300 gift card using a credit card which was denied. At one point, she distracted the cashier and left the store with the merchandise without paying for it. Deputies have also learned the woman later
