Accordig to Sims, Truong and his six associates were opperating “a large drug-trafficking organization” and that they weren’t the only people involved. In fact, the district attorney said Tuesday night that they only represent “seven of 20” who were involved and that “t

here will be more arrests, probably before this evening is out, and well into the next couple of days.”

As if this wasn’t already a real-life story that has all the makings of either a very good crime drama or a very bad Tubi script, when Truong, at the tnder age of 23, defeated two-term incumbent Wendy Perrette in 2022 to become Bogalusa’s new young mayor, he did so by running on what some people (*gestures widely towards bootlicking Republicans*) would consider an anti-police platform. Fox 8 noted that he was critical of the city’s police department and that he even suggested it should be disbanded and replaced by the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office. There are probably a lot of cops in the Bogalusa Police Department who are doing a victory lap right now after throwing darts at the mayor’s photo in the breakroom for the last couple of years. (It’s still f**k 12 though.)

Bruh — we’re barely even a full week into 2025 and it’s already looking a mess out here. Stay safe, good people!
