2 Louisiana lawmakers get into fistfight at Baton Rouge bar: report

Two Louisiana lawmakers got into a fistfight at a Baton Rouge bar, evidently over a disputed bill in the Legislature, Greg Hilburn with the USA Today Network reports.

State Rep. Stuart Bishop, R-Lafayette, and Sen. Norby Chabert, R-Houma, were involved in a dispute on the House floor Tuesday (May 15) and squared off later that night at the River Room on Laurel Street. Bishop said Chabert "punched me several times" but he didn't throw any punches back.

Chabert said he "loved Stuart like a brother" and regretted the incident.

Police were called to the bar, but Bishop and Chabert had left by the time they arrived. No arrests were made.

On the House floor Wednesday morning, Bishop atoned for the dust-up to his colleagues.

"I truly apologize for doing anything that upset y'all or made y'all look bad," Bishop said.

"The next time it will just be dueling guns," he jokingly added.

There is a lot of humor down here. More so than other parts of the country.
