A Metairie man walked with a machete into a Kenner Walmart and used the weapon to try to kidnap a 2-year-old boy and then an infant, swinging the blade at store employees before he was tackled and arrested Friday (March 23), police said.
At one point, police said, Billy Yoe Budier-Herrera, 33, forced a mother to struggle for her child and to take refuge behind the store's deli counter, moments before store employees and an off-duty Kenner police officer working a detail subdued Budier-Herrera inside the Walmart Supercenter, at 8912 Veterans Blvd.
Budier-Herrera was booked with two counts of second-degree kidnapping of a child, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of illegal carrying of weapons and disturbing the peace, according to the Kenner Police Department.
Along with the 10-inch, machete-style blade, Budier-Herrera was found carrying a container of pepper spray and a makeshift shiv formed of a plastic handle with razor blades attached by duct tape, Kenner police said.
The havoc began about 2 p.m., when Budier-Herrera approached a woman inside and her 2-year-old son inside the store. Budier-Herrera, who wore a backpack, "told the mother that if she did not listen to his instructions, she would die," police said in a news release.

Machete wielding illegal alien just doing a job Americans won't do. BUILD THE WALL
The Ballad of Billy Yoe.
The wall will not extend through Louisiana. In place of the wall, just shoot to kill...
What is it with all the Hispanics having hypenated names lately? It’s not all the women wanting to keep their maiden name, right?
Didn’t someone suggest a ditch with alligators back when Obama was elected? I heard him put that suggestion down! /s
Looks homegrown. He could be any of the stolen grocery cart pushers along Clay Bone avenue. It’s what happens when too many crack pipes are discarded in a stagnant gene pool.
Never seen a ten inch machete before.
Act of love........Yeb! Bush
Family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande......GWB
Budier-Herrera. First coon-ass mexican I’ve heard of.
“...before he was tackled...”
Sounds like he got off light.
I lived in this part of Kenner back in the early 90’s in an area with nice duplexs. It was starting to get bad back then. I’m surprised with all the crime like this because the Kenner police were serious about their jobs.
Should have just ventilated him instead.....
Hmm..., I wonder if Wal-Mart will fire those employees that assisted in capture of Herrera?
From comment 1:
He was also charged with an immigration detainer, police said.
It’s Louisiana, couldn’t some good ol’ boy just use him for gator bait?
It’s not like anyone would miss him.
Multiple surnames are actually traditional and very common in Spanish surnames.
“he then told the mother that “if she did not listen, her son would also die.””
What was Stormy Daniels doing in New Orleans?
Metairie ain’t what it used to be, and Kenner never was.
I’ve never been to Wal Mart much but isn’t that where there is a store employee at the door as people enter? No one saw him enter with a weapon?
We must stage a rally to stop machete wielding whatevers....
