A Covington woman was attacked Monday morning by a New Orleans man dressed in Carnival garb that she met through the Internet, Covington police said Tuesday.

Lawrence Goldstein, 40, 1020 St. Claude Ave., New Orleans, was booked Monday with attempted rape, false imprisonment and possession of nitrous oxide, which is classified a dangerous substance, police said. Sometimes known as laughing gas, the chemical was used by Goldstein in an attempt to lower the victims defenses, authorities said. Goldstein called the 24-year-old Covington resident early Monday morning and told her that he had too many guests at his residence and asked if he could sleep at her place, Covington police spokesman

She told police that they had smoked all of Goldstein's marijuana, West said. West said the officer on the scene told him, "I opened the door and this Oompa-Loompa is standing there,"

not something you read every day, other than maybe NOLA,Floriduh, or WI.

I bet Juan MxCain will even give amnesty to oompa-loompas.

“...at least I haven’t been attacked by an oompa-loompa.”
Or by Bill O’Reilly with an oofa-loofa.

possession of nitrous oxide, which is classified a dangerous substance

Interesting. Last time I was at Mardi Gras in about 1992, the street vendors were selling "shots" of NO2. And the cops just rode by saying "save a shot for me."

Many years ago, I answered the door to a professor from the college where I was taking classes. He had obtained my address from college records.

He lived in a town 40 miles down the road - said he was too tired to drive down and could he 'sleep over." = even had a sleeping bag on his back - 'the prop"?

By now the hair on the the back of my neck was standing up and fortunately, my German Shepherd quietly came and pushed herself in sideways between us - and just stood there.

He got the message and left.
