“Further investigation revealed that (the suspect) was in the process of stealing crawfish and had filled three sacks,” the sheriff’s office said.

The man was arrested and booked into the St. James Parish Jail, according to the sheriff’s office.

The man was charged with theft of livestock, criminal trespassing, taking fish without a commercial license, and commercial gear license required, according to the release. He is being held on a $25,000 bond.

Theft of livestock can lead to a 10-year prison sentence and up to $5,000 in fines under Louisiana law, according to the release.

Vacherie is about 52 miles northwest of New Orleans.

Deputies said the man had already filled up three sacks of crawfish when he was found.

Atchafalaya Basinkeeper
Did you know that commercial fishermen who catch wild crawfish in the Atchafalaya Basin check between 300 and 500 traps each day during crawfish season? Let’s give a round of applause for our commercial fishermen! They put in long, hard, and often dangerous days catching crawfish to make a living. This is not only a job, but a lifestyle and an important part of South Louisiana’s rich culture. Atchafalaya Basinkeeper is proud to work with Louisiana Crawfish Producers Association - West to protect the Atchafalaya Basin and the commercial fishermen who rely on it.

Crawfish have been consumed in the southern United States for centuries, first by Native Americans, who later introduced the European settlers to this bountiful food resource. Immigrants who settled near the waterways and swamps of Louisiana found a ready supply, and soon crawfish became an object of commerce, dating back to at least the late 1800s.

Only One in 10,000 and we found 2

Only one in 10,000 crawfish turn blue, according to the Audubon Institute.

The blue and white color variations are the result of an inherited, recessive trait resulting from a mutation in the gene responsible for pigment formation. In normally colored crawfish, a carotenoid pigment combines with a protein to form the characteristic red coloration.
