Oh, Those Crazy Cajun Cocos...

It's time to bring it!
I thought this was funny. I'm surprised this happened in Louisiana and not West Virginia or Kentucky. Oh weel, maybe it will give Abercrombie & Fitch a new state to pick on with their T-shirts.

Small-Town Showdown All in the Family

Twenty-two-year-old Willie "Troy" Coco of Grand Coteau (search), La., was arrested last Tuesday for punching Jean Coco, his uncle's former wife, in the face, according to the Lafayette (La.) Daily Advertiser.
Troy Coco is also Grand Coteau's fire chief. Jean Coco is mayor of the Cajun country town, population about 1,000.

The younger Coco went loco when the mayor confronted him about the volunteer department's poor fire rating.

"I thought we had a good conversation," Jean Coco told the newspaper.

Troy Coco, however, said he and his former aunt started calling each other names, and that he finally snapped when Jean Coco disparaged his mother and threatened to fire him as fire chief.

He added that he didn't mean to hit the mayor, but he'd "just had enough."

After Jean Coco dusted herself off, she called the town's chief of police — her own son, and presumably Troy's cousin, Jonty Coco.

Troy Coco was arrested by St. Landry Parish sheriff's deputies and charged with battery on a public official.

Jean Coco has asked Grand Coteau's Board of Aldermen to suspend Troy Coco as police chief, but implied it wasn't personal.

"I know this is not all Troy's fault," she told the newspaper.

Uh, isn't Troy the fire chief and Jonty the police chief? Sheesh, it's so confusing that even the reporter got them mixed up.

Great catch! I was laughing the entire time I read the article and easily missed it myself. :lol:

Seems to me it is just a family brouhaha.

It's not like they are courting or anything.
That would be WVA.

I own a family cemetary in WVA.

Usually in LA we say, Thank God for Mississippi! :)

I'll be back from TX and then I'll catch up.
