kept a drunk in jail and let the real local crimmanls back out on the street.
police in BR must have been trained by the NOPD. They go to a hotel and get a story about the aussie giving them his wallet and they let them go. classic police work.

But no charges were laid because the three told local police Mr McDonald had given them his wallet voluntarily while they were drinking at a bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on August 27 - the day he arrived in New Orleans and was arrested. Say what? this is a joke right?

Ms Mutnansky said he was most likely arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct. D&D in NO seems to be contradiction in terms to me.....

That sounds really odd. Without talking to Mr. McDonald, how could the authorities possibly reach such a conclusion? I've done a lot of stupid things in bars, but handing my wallet to a complete stranger was not one of them!

D&D in NO seems to be contradiction in terms to me..... You have never seen a drunk until you've seen a drunk Australian ... and G-D forbid you ever see a bunch of them!

Jeezelouise - get popped for D&D in New Orleans and your name winds up in newspapers all over the world.
Sis - if you're reading this and I turn up missing, f'Petessake don't tell Mom I wound up in jail. Tell her something less stressful, like I got et by a 'gator...

Ms Mutnansky said he was most likely arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct. "He probably had one too many and got loud - it wouldn't have been anything serious," Ms Mutnansky said from her home in Tennessee. Arrested for being loud and drunk in New Orleans? Now, I've heard some incredible things, but that has got to be near the top of the most bogus, ludicrous statements ever.

"It's not the most classy ending, but I'm glad he's safe and sound and it's over," she said.Love it! It's embarassing but he's alive, so who cares?

police discovered three people at the Baton Rouge hotel had used Mr McDonald's credit card. But no charges were laid because the three told local police Mr McDonald had given them his wallet voluntarily while they were drinking at a bar Uh, you can't use someone else's credit card, whether or not he gave it to you "voluntarily". That's fraud.
Obviously there are some with the New Orleans PD who are as corrupt as the criminals.

He has turned up in Huntsville (in Alabama).
Lucky for him that he didnt turn up in Huntsville, Texas

Arrested for D&D in NO?
That's like getting a speeding ticket at the Indy 500... a citation for indecent exposure at a nudist colony... slapped with a noise ordinance violation at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally... (you get the idea)

Fellow Freepers:
At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.
Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter.
If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.
Right now the site mostly covers Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in Lubbock and Austin tonight. My wife was down at Reunion Arena in Dallas yesterday handing out care packages and spiritually ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer. She says that the situation is tragic and that there's a lot of work to be done. There are so many children who don't know where their parents are or even if their parents are still alive.
There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would appreciate it if you would get the word out.
Many thanks,
Michael McCullough
