A man who held a 39-year-old man at gunpoint in New Orleans and told him to drive to a location was arrested after the driver bailed out the vehicle in front of a Westwego police officer, according to court records.

Me and you and a man named Bo..

The unbelieveable statistical run continues apace.
From the details of the story, it appears that it was a drug deal gone wrong instead of an intended homo hookup. In New Orleans, it is always probably one or the other.
He looks like a nice guy. The kind of person you would have stay in your house while you are on vacation.
Exactly..
Orange looks good on him.
Apparently virtue signaling exists on FR
Knew it before seeing the mugshot.
This should give the cops an excuse to check out Bo and his house, too. Birds of a feather and all.
“He looks like a nice guy. The kind of person you would have stay in your house while you are on vacation.”
Absolutely. He’d have the place cleaned out in an hour.
