City pays big for OC arrest

Since no one is allowed to talk about how much money was paid out, it must have been pretty substantial.

Gonzales settles gun-carrying man’s lawsuit

Mark Marchiafava say's he earned the right to wear his .357 caliber Magnum pistol in a hip holster in Gonzales.

And, he says at a local mall, city residents paid him to demonstrate that right.

“I wish the taxpayers of Gonzales knew just how much money it is,” the 55-year-old Marchiafava adds.

In January 2006, the longtime Baton Rouge resident was at the same mall, wearing the same pistol, when a Gonzales police officer asked him why he was carrying a gun.

Marchiafava says he told the officer that non-felons can legally carry firearms that are not concealed.

That exchange led to Marchiafava’s arrest on a count of illegal carrying of a weapon. The arrest led to an hours-long stay at the Ascension Parish Prison.

Don't know if he meant a 250cc Kawasaki or a fat-bob HD hog!
