A 31-year-old LaPlace man was booked with armed robbery after authorities say he and an accomplice stole 100 pounds of shrimp at gunpoint early Friday morning, a St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman said Monday.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Dane Clement said deputies booked Gerald Brown on Friday at 3:30 p.m. after a victim identified him as the robber.
Clement said Brown and an unidentified man stole shrimp, a wallet and a cell phone from a 20-year-old LaPlace man shortly before 3 a.m. Friday. Parish authorities later tied Brown to the incident via a license plate number from the getaway car, he said. Brown's accomplice remains at large, Clement said.
Just after the robbery the victim flagged down a deputy. He reported that he had agreed to follow the two men to Cardinal Street to sell them shrimp but they instead robbed him, according to a Sheriff's Office report.
The report said the victim was forced to give up his ice chest full of shrimp and his personal belongings. Clement said the robbers fled in a car.
Brown was being held Monday in the Sherman Walker Correctional Facility in LaPlace in lieu of $200,000 bond.
Anyone with information about the robbery may contact Detective Staty Lewis at 985.652.9513.

GOOD MOVIES

Mark Wahlberg stars as the title character of this gritty crime thriller, centered on an undercover New York City DEA agent who teams up with a female assassin (Mila Kunis) to avenge the murder of his family. With supporting performances by Beau Bridges, Ludacris, Chris O'Donnell and Donal Logue, this big-screen video game adaptation is directed by filmmaker John Moore.

Three soldiers injured in the Iraq War return home only to find that their tour of duty has taken its toll on the home front. Together, Colee (Rachel McAdams), TK (Michael Peña) and Cheever (Tim Robbins) set out on a cross-country road trip in hopes the journey will repair their tattered lives. Colee seeks to somehow repay her boyfriend's family, while Cheever dreams of a big Vegas win, and TK tries to regain his confidence.

Distraught over his wife's death -- and convinced that his own actions had something to do with it -- a depressed IRS (Will Smith) agent begins plotting his suicide, vowing to improve the lives of seven strangers in the process. But a chance meeting with a woman who has a life-threatening heart defect (Rosario Dawson) threatens to derail his plans when, suddenly, their budding relationship feels a lot like love.

BAD MOVIE SAVE YOUR MONEY

SAVE YOUR MONEY TOO SLOW!

Ex-spies Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) and Ray Koval (Clive Owen) join competing multinational corporations to see who can get their hands on a secret product first and cash in on the profit. They have no problem double-crossing their bosses (played by Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti) but will they be willing to backstab each other? Turns out a little thing called love is getting in the way. Tony Gilroy wrote and directed this crime caper.

Don't expect a pot full of boiling bunnies, because nothing so creatively crazy ever happens in "Obsessed," a "Fatal Attraction"-inspired predatory-female domestic thriller that spends much time spinning its wheels and making auds practically beg for an explanation to all the madness and obsession. Beyonce Knowles may be the big B.O. draw in this Stephen Shill-helmed psychodrama, which topped the weekend B.O. with a surprising $28.5 million opening, but she's barely a supporting player: The movie belongs to Ali Larter, who's long overdue for some kind of bigscreen breakout.

New Movie

Fast and Furious

Fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) must team with his old nemesis Agent Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and take on a common enemy in the latest full-throttle installment of the speed-racing franchise. Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster reprise their roles as Letty and Mia, respectively, in the action adventure, which features pulse-pounding convoy heists and precision tunnel crawls.

Good but not the best Vin Diesel great, Paul Walker great the hold cast wonderful but something was missing they did fill in gaps about Han from Tokyo Drift that was great. It keep you attention.

My last item from Baby Phat!

BabyPhat.com bought my wife some jeans from them she did not like the style. Sent them back for another style. They returned the same style jeans. Huh! Called the girls trying to talk down to me Well sir we don't have return labels do you understand what i'm saying.

No I'm retarded the English Lauange is something I have yet to master. I don't understand why a muti-million doesn't supply return labels for their mistakes.

Bad customer service, no return lables save yourself the headaches.

Fire those friends and family!
