A Thibodaux man faces a fourth DWI charge after Lafourche Parish authorities say he arrived to the scene of a Sunday (July 2) crash to help his friend, who had driven into a ditch and was charged with a second DWI.
John Roath, 65, was charged with his fourth-offense DWI, driving under suspension and no vehicle registration, while Larry Fontenot Jr., 55, was charged with second-offense DWI, Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre said in a news release.
About 8:45 p.m. Sunday, deputies responding to a single-vehicle crash on Erika Drive in Thibodaux learned that Fontenot had crashed his truck into a ditch.
Deputies detected the odor of alcohol on Fontenot's breath, and Fontenot admitted to having consumed alcohol prior to driving, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Fontenot performed poorly on a field sobriety test, Webre said in the statement, and a breathalyzer test showed his blood-alcohol content at .175 percent. The legal limit in Louisiana is .08 percent.
As deputies were investigating the crash, Roath drove up to the scene in a truck, telling officers that he had arrived to help Fontenot in pulling his truck out of the ditch, according to the news release.

Boudreaux shot a Pelican and ate it. Word got around and the sheriff arrested him
Judge Thibodaux ask Boudreaux why he would shoot and eat a pelican as everybody knows it is illegal and the judge said if he could give him a good reason he would forgo the fine and jail time and give him probation. Boudreaux told the judge that times were hard and his family was hungry so he shot the pelican so his family would not starve. The judge said "ok Boudreaux I will let it slide this time but don't do it again". Then the Judge added "oh by the way what did it taste like"? To which Boudreaux replied "kind of a cross between an eagle and an owl".
